DESCRIPTION
Prep
reads each
file
in sequence
and writes it on the standard output,
one `word' to a line.
A word is a string of alphabetic characters
and imbedded apostrophes,
delimited by space or punctuation.
Hyphented words are broken apart;
hyphens at the end of lines are removed and the
hyphenated parts are joined.
Strings of digits are discarded.
The following option letters may appear in any order:
- -d
-
Print the word number (in the input
stream) with each word.
- -i
-
Take the next
file
as an `ignore' file.
These words will not appear in the output.
(They will be counted, for purposes of the
-d
count.)
- -o
-
Take the next
file
as an `only' file.
Only these words will appear in the output.
(All other words will also be counted for
the
-d
count.)
- -p
-
Include punctuation marks (single nonalphanumeric characters)
as separate output lines.
The punctuation marks are not counted for the
-d
count.
Ignore and only files contain words, one per line.
