need code in awk unix or use substr

Question

I want to print words between \"ctr{words}\" and count the same words in a file.

I tried:

sed -n \'s/.*ctr{\\(.[^}]*\\).*/\\1/p\' file

Answer 1

It looks like you are missing the counts. The easiest way to do this is to pipe your output through uniq -c:

$ sed -n 's/.*ctr{\(.[^}]*\).*/\1/p' file | sort | uniq -c

Another way, only using awk:

$ awk 'match($0,".*ctr{([^}]*)}.*",m){a[m[1]]++}END{for(i in a) print i,a[i]}' file
