Write a shell program to count number of words, characters,white spaces and special symbols in a givin text

 
echo Enter a text
read text
w=\`echo $text | wc -w\`
w=\`expr $w\`
c=\`echo $text | wc -c\`
c=\`expr $c - 1\`
s=0
alpha=0
j=\` \` 
n=1
while [ $n -le $c ]
do
ch=\`echo $text | cut -c $n\`
if test $ch =  $j
then
s=\`expr $s + 1\`
fi
case $ch in
a|b|c|d|e|f|g|h|i|j|k|l|m|n|o|p|q|r|s|t|u|v|w|x|y|z) alpha=\`expr $alpha + 1\`;;
esac
n=\`expr $n + 1\`
done
special=\`expr $c - $s - $alpha\`
echo Words=$w
echo Characters=$c
echo Spaces=$s
echo Special symbols=$special
