Make a word list from a text

[Wulfy]

I want to take a text file and extract all the words and sort them into 
a unique list.  I've looked at split, cut, sed and awk (the last two 
just confused me no end...  :@( ) and I can't find a imple way to do 
it.  I suppose I could write a Java program to do it, but it seems silly 
to reinvent the wheel like that.  I'm sure there are a bazillion ways to 
do it on the command line but I'm flummoxed.  I tried googling and every 
search string I tried brought me dozens of Windows programs to do the 
job or python programs, but nothing I could understand...

Respect the elders. Teach the young. Co-operate with the pack.
Play when you can. Hunt when you must. Rest in between.
Share your affections. Voice your opinion. Leave your Mark.
