Sort duplicates in multiple files












1















I am kind new to programming and I am just starting so please do not think I am just trying to get spoon fed.



I am trying to make one assignment but I am stuck.
the idea is to sort duplicates string among many files.



They are all in one folder.
with 1. txt, 2.txt...n. txt



1.txt:



hello
hi
world


2. txt



hi
there
hello


They all contain different strings.
I would like to sort them and get result as:



2 hello
1 world


and so on



I tried this from a bit of searching but no luck.



sort file1.txt | uniq -c


This mainly does it for one file and I would like to make it for all files at once.



I thank you very much for you're help!

          I'd cat both files and then sort and count the values:



          $ cat file1.txt file2.txt | sort | uniq -c
