Hi Yvan,
 
Retype the minus, don't copy and paste the version from Dan.
 
Best regards,jan
     

Thanks to you and to Christopher.
I didn’t took care that the minus character wasn’t a true one.
After correcting that, the script works but I’m puzzled (it seems that i'm becoming accustomed to that).
When the text file contains :

-----------
apple 
grapevine
banana 
ananas 
orange 
apple 
apple 
orange 
--------------
if the keyword is grape the returned value is 1 which I don't really like but not the worse.
if the keyword is apple, the returned value is 3 which is OK.

If the text contains :
-----------
apple 1
grape 1
banana 1
ananas 1
orange 1
apple 2
apple 3
orange 2
--------------

if the keyword is grape the returned value is 2 which is at least surprizing.
if the keyword is apple, the returned value is 6 which is at least surprizing.

I paste the used code in case there is an odd character again.
set leFichier to (path to desktop as text) & "forGrep.txt"
set theKey to "grape"

do shell script "grep " & theKey & space & (quoted form of POSIX path of leFichier) & "|wc -w"

It seems that grep is difficult to understand for the old ape which I am.
