NAME

genstats - generate statistics on any textfile

SYNOPSIS

genstats [options]

options: [-ifdscvIhV]

DESCRIPTION

The program genstats generates statistics on any textfile. With commandline parameters which are very similar to those of the 'cut'-command, one can select what part of the lines in a textfile should be counted. Genstats then generates a table with the frequency of occurence of each string together with the interval.

OPTIONS

-i

File to read from. If omitted, genstats reads from stdin.

-f

Selects which field to look at. First field is '1'.

-d

When using the -f parameter, one can set the field delimiter with -d.

-e

Select the part of a string which matches to the given regular expression.

-E

Only evaluate the lines matching to the given regular expression.

-s

When used, only lines which do have the selected field are looked at.

-S

Simple output: only field and count.

-c

Selects a range of characters to look at:

N

N'th character, counted from 0

N-

from N'th character to end of line

N-M

from N'th to M'th (excluded) character

-M

from first to M'th (excluded) character

-v

Be a little more verbose when generating output (also adds a header to the output).

-I

Tread the strings case insensitive.

-h

Show a helptext and exit.

-V

Show version information and exit.

BUGS

None. This program is totally bug-free.
