Question

Tapan Patel · Answer

You want to do this, I believe: Note that 'you' and 'you?' will be different words here as I am splitting string using space as delimiter. take care of those and variable k will have the list of words along with counts. string text= "hello how are you? how are you today?" var k =text.Split( ' ' ).GroupBy(x => x).Select(y => new { word = y.Key, count = y.Count() });

I think the code snippet from @Tapan Patel should work (+1). You might need to add addtional logic, to replace the special character (? . , ) with empty space before splitting it. Also watch out for bad data like two spaces in between words.

i have a text file and text is like " how are you? how are you doing today ? i am fine today." so in this file the distinct wordsare "how ,are you,today, doing, i, am,fine" and i want the individaul count of of that distinct words like. word "how" appears two times and word i appears one times and so on.. i code it like: count =1; if (textfile[i].contain(distinctWord[i])) count+=1; but it give me the whole count of text file words..

I dont think there is an built in function to get count of specific word. But you can do it in 2 steps. Split the string and store in array then write linq query. do group by then get the count. Regards, Sudha
