Nice you worked it out yourself, but it's still a little inefficient, your reading the whole file with grep to count the number of error lines and then re-reading it again to capture them.

Why not grep the error lines and redirect to error.txt and then test the size of error.txt with the -s option:

Code:
grep ERROR mainscript.log > error.txt
if [ -s error.txt ]; then
   echo Error
   ...
else
   rm error.txt
   echo Success
fi
