I think this is as close as you can get:
As you want the line count per file, you need to read every file entirely; I don't see much chance to improve on speed...
thank you!!!
this worked perfectly. is there anyway i can instruct awk to do exactly what you're doing here, but to treat any file it finds that isn't plain text (i.e. gzip files) in a different way?
like, for instance, the grepping for the string wont work on files that are gzipped. i do know you can use the following for reading gzip files:
the problem im having is being able to incorporate this command into your awk command so it is kicked off ONLY when the awk comes across a file that isn't plain text.

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
