Adding Word Frequencies in Various Text Files

I am having four files i.e. Text Files. I have already calculated their individual word frequencies. Now, I wish to add their frequencies like if Kill appears 10 times in File1 then I will check this word Kill in other files too and will add to its current frequency. So, comparing all four files and making one single file in the end.
I need to add frequencies of related words I mean indexes they appear. Like if in frequencies file the word kill is on 10th index, it maybe on 100th index in other file. So total frequency of kill will be calculated. That way I need to work, In Simple, if word Kill appears 10 times in file1 and 4 times in file2, I need 14 against this Kill word and for all other words same scenario.
Right now I am doing this for words frequencies calculation of a single txt file:
fid = fopen('File.txt');
words = textscan(fid, '%s');
status = fclose(fid);
Then: Unique words and their frequencies are below calculated...…
unique_words = unique(words{1,1});
frequencies = zeros(numel(unique_words), 1);
for i = 1:numel(unique_words)
if max(unique_words{i} ~= ' ')
for j = 1:numel(words{1,1})
if strcmp(words{1,1}(j), unique_words{i})
frequencies(i) = frequencies(i) + 1;
end
end
end
end
Please guide me if anyone can help.
Thanks a lot.

I still don't see anything against the secondary file -- create it and store the word (or better yet, a hash function value to the word for quicker lookup) and the associated accumulated frequency for the file(s) processed.
If you have the Statistics Toolbox there's the dataset object that has a lot of the functionality builtin--it's basically just a structure with named fields with some higher-level stuff builtin so that's one way fairly simply within base Matlab.
As Walter asks, how, specifically the data is currently actually stored plus a better view of how you're doing the processing could help -- not the (rather trivial) counting of a given file, but the larger picture of how you get the files, which are processed at any given time, how to know when need another update, etc., etc., etc,. ...
To reiterate, why not the central database for the results--seems as though would simplify life significantly.

You cannot calculate the joint frequencies with the information you are storing in the files.
In order to calculate the joint frequencies, you need to also store the information about which word each count corresponds to.
