WordCount Tool

The WordCount tool is a Ruby-based utility that provides information about files, including the number of lines, words, characters, bytes, and the length of the longest line. If you supply multiple files as input, it will generate this information for each file and also provide a total summary at the end.

Description

Following options are available:

• -L: Write the length of the line containing the most bytes (default) or characters (when -m is provided) to standard output.
• -c: The number of bytes in each input file is written to the standard output. This will cancel out any prior usage of the -m option.
• -l: The number of lines in each input file is written to the standard output.
• -m: The number of characters in each input file is written to the standard output. If the current locale does not support multibyte characters, this is equivalent to the -c option. This will cancel out any prior usage of the -c option.
• -w: The number of words in each input file is written to the standard output.
