Phrase sorting software Application

I am involved in a language/grammar project.

I need a simple application that will open a large text file (for example a book in electronic format), extract the words, and sort them in order of frequency.

This sorted list is then exported to a spreadsheet with the list of words in one column and the frequency of the word in the column beside it.

The following is an example of the spreadsheet …

Word/Phrase Frequency

that 1209

with 814

The program has one variable, “Phrase length”. This can be set before the text file is processed, and has a range of 1 to 5.

For example if the “Phrase length” variable is set to 3 the spreadsheet might look like the following …

Word/Phrase Frequency

went to the 12

you have been 9

Notes:

1. Capitals are ignored

2. The phrases do not transverse punctuation marks such as , . ; : ? ! ” ( ) - /

For example, (with the phrase-length is set at 3), the following text is processes as below:

I am a boy. The

Word/Phrase Frequency

I am a 1

Am a boy 1

(NB “a boy. The” does not appear in the list)
