Hello,
I'm still new to linux, and im looking for some helpful ideas.
What I'm trying to do is I need to write a script that will take a text file, which has paragraphs and create another text file which extracts every individual word from that orignal text file and lists them line by line..
example:
text file 1:
hello. this is a test example file! i hope i could get some great ideas...
new text file2:
hello
this
is
a
test
example
file
i
...
and so on...
Any ideas on i how i might go about accomplishing this?
thanks!

without removing duplicates, you could just replace any spaces with a newline:
This won't remove punctuation, but you could write another one to do that.
*code not tested, but pretty sure it'll do the trick
sed "s/ /\n/g" originalFile > outputFile
*code not tested, but pretty sure it'll do the trick
