I am trying to count the number of words in a twitter file using the expression 

system2("wc", args = "-w final/en_US/en_US.news.txt",stdout=TRUE)

I keep getting a message that

Error in system2("wc", args = "-w final/en_US/en_US.news.txt", stdout = TRUE) : '"wc"' not found

I have tried all I could. I am not able to figure out what I may be doing wrong.

Any help\direction would be appreciated.

    It's telling you that it can't find the `wc` command can't be found in the environment it's evaluating in. What OS are you using? This should work on OS X and Linux. – alistaire Mar 16 '16 at 05:20
