Question How to extract specific data and count number containing sets from a file?

Hello everybody!

I am quit new here and hope you can help me.

Using an awk script I am trying to extract data from several files. The structure of the input files is as follows:

TimeStep parameter1 parameter2 parameter3 parameter4

e.g.

1 X Y Z L
1 D H Z I
1 H Y E W
2 D H G F
2 R T U V
3
.
.
.

I would like to count the number entries from time step 1, 2, 3... containing certain parameters, respectively.

I already wrote a script that is extracting entries with specific parameters. However I am still struggling with getting with the information how many entries of time step 1, 2 and 3 contain e.g. parameter Z in $4 (2 for time step 1 and 0 for all other in the example above).

I Would prefer to do everything within a single script awk because I got a lot of data and later only want to change the parameter selection.

I already tried to do it within for and while loops but it did not work as I wanted it to... well I am just starting with awkSmilie

Thanks for your help guys!
