Dear Agrima
As well as Sarah's seven possibilities an eighth occurs to me: you have
not yet read it into R in the first place. If that is the case you may
be able to use read.table to get it into a data frame with columns
corresponding to your words.
?read.table may be your friend here.

i have a text file with data of the given format:

That doesn't specify the format. I can think of at least seven things
that could be:
a character vector
a two-column matrix
a one-column matrix
a two-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character
a one-column data frame, with or without values correctly specified as character
The correct answer depends on what the format actually is; you need to
use dput() or some other unambiguous way of providing sample data.
Here are some suggestions for creating a good reproducible example:

Some combination of strsplit() and table(), possibly with apply(),
will be the answer, though.

here i have to find the frequency of the terms only in the first column
(i.e.)
white - 1
lived- 2
in -2
a-1
called - 1
as -1
Could you please guide me how to do the above in R.

and please don't post in HTML, as it makes figuring out what you meant
even more difficult.
