Thanks rdcwayx, anbu23, and vivekraj for your response.

The output is very large, but I will trim it down to 6 records in the file.

I attempted to use anbu23 code, but it kept returning with 0 count.

Code:

sed -n "/robot type:.*TLD/{N;/barcode:.*AA/s/\n//p;}" testing.txt | wc -l

I hope I can make this one more clear.

There are 6 records in the testing.txt file. For each record, I would like a count if it fits the criteria with barcode of AA* and robot type of TLD*.

Based on the 6 records, I should get a total count of 4 that fits the barcode of AA* and robot type of TLD*.

barcode AA0379, AA0400, AA0500, AA0700 all fit the criteria.

Thanks in advance.

Filename: testing.txt

zegrep

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME

     zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files

SYNOPSIS

     zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]

     zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

     zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).

     The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1).  If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
     argument.

     zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).

EXIT STATUS

     In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

     egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
