You seem to have gone a bit too far with the backslashes! Smilie

I'm assuming your input file looks a bit like this:

Code:
cat zzz.txt
<Topic r:id="Top/World/Français/
<Topic r:id="Top/World/Français/
dfgg
<Topic r:id="Top/World/Français/

If you can set your variable differently it should work:

Code:
parentCategoryFormatted="\"Top/World/Français/"
numUrlsFoundInParentCategory=`grep -c "<Topic r:id=$parentCategoryFormatted" zzz.txt`
echo "Dynamic result = $numUrlsFoundInParentCategory"
Dynamic result = 3
