Hi all,

I hope some one can help me.

I have a file with a list of user names ( 1 column )

I need to check a log file for these names and how many times they occur and send the output to a new file.

I was thinking of a for loop.

My hopless attempt so far is.

For co in $( cat “file name “ )
Do
Grep ${co} /location/location/location/”log”

Add a "done" at the end to restore hope; and check your capitalization. Also you probably want grep -c to count the number of occurrences, and proper quoting to wrap it up.
