Counting the ldapsearch results
Hi,

Is there way to count the number of results in the ldapsearch, looking at the manpages i dont see an option,

Using the following ldapsearch command to list attribute (User-Id=100) under my ObjectClass=my-Process, returns the entries matching the User-Id=100, and the problem i face here is i just want find the number of entries matching this filter not the ldapresult

Code:
 ldapsearch -x -h <myHost> -p <port> -D <myDNString> -w <passwd> -b <baseDN> -s sub "(&(objectClass=my-Process)(User-Id=100))" name User-Id

The approximate results,

Quote:
# 100, my-Process, Abcd
dn: my-Process-Item=100,my-User-Process-List=1,application=xyz
User-Id: 100
# 101, my-Process, Abcd
dn: my-Process-Item=101,my-User-Process-List=1,application=xyz
User-Id: 100

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

I can do an grep on the search result for the User-Id=100, but I think there could be a better solution for this, Suggestion pls to count the entries

Thanks,
Nagarajan Ganesan
