Not sure exactly what you want, but this should be a good start. It essentially comes from Chapter 4 of _The Unix Programming Environment_ by Kernighan and Pike, 1984.

< inputfile tr -sc [:alpha:] '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10

Explanation:
tr -sc converts all non-alphabetic characters to newlines, and compresses adjacent newlines to one. Thus giving a list of words, one per line.
sort puts identical words together
uniq -c gives a count of identical words, with an example of each
sort -nr numerically sorts the count, in reverse order
head -10 selects the 10 words of greatest frequency.

Example, running this script on a manual page text output, I get:
man man | col -b | tr -sc [:alpha:] '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10
117 the
80 man

This not an aswer to your question but a general comment.

Shorter your question, shorter and more cryptic the answer you get.
If you give your full requirement and the context, it helps a lot when someone is willing and ready to answer your question.

When you ask a question that is vague, you get vague answers as people here, though very qualified and capable of answering your Q have to guess what you are trying to do and come with their own solution which may or may not satisfy your need.

Could you explain, in more detail, what you want to do?
