Ι have many text files with total space 4 GB. In Russian, Greek and English languages.

Is there a way - program - software to find the most common - frequent words in these files?

I want it to produce a list ordered from most to least used words.

I know only C and Matlab. Thanks in advance.

Then you would need to write a program to read the files, split each line into words, and build some frequency tables.

The keyword you need to search for is "concordance". What you require is a variation on that idea. The link below shows a very simple C++ concordance generator which you may be able to rework in C. Failing that I'm sure you'll be able to turn up an example in C which you can adapt if you poke around on teh interwebs.
