Count occurrences of words in documents

Word Occurrences

Python script to count the occurrence of a word over one or more documents.

Usage

python3 occurrences.py file [file ...]

How It Works

Say we have three files:

test1.txt
apple
banana
cake, cake

test2.txt
apple, apple
banana
cake

test3.txt
apple
banana

Count occurrence of words in one file:

$ python3 occurrences.py test1.txt
apple      1
banana     1
cake       2

Count occurrence of words in two files:

$ python3 occurrences.py test1.txt test2.txt
banana     2
apple      3
cake       3

Maximum count of 2

$ python3 occurrences.py test1.txt test2.txt --maxcount 2
banana     2

Words must exist in all files:

$ python3 occurrences.py test1.txt test2.txt test3.txt
banana     3
apple      4

Ignore words which appear in test3.txt:

$ python3 occurrences.py test1.txt test2.txt -i test3.txt
cake       3
