#print
Write a program which counts the number of five letter
words in its input (define a word as anything between
blanks, tabs or newlines).  Compile and run it, then type "ready".
Note that all that is wanted is the total number of
five letter words - nothing was said about distinct
words.  Just count the number of times exactly five
characters appear between spaces.
#once #create Ref
This is a passage of text which contains
exactly twelve words of five letters.
Words may appear at the start or at the final
part of a line.  Other words show up in
the middle.  Avoid counting seven or eight letters
but every five must be noted.
#user

grep 12 xxx >/dev/null

			if (since == 5)
				wdnum++;
			since = 0;
		}
		else
			since++;
	}
	printf("%d\n", wdnum);
