Hi,

I want a script which search for a pattern "good" in a huge file and provide me number of occurences of such pattern in a file.

lets say i have a file test.txt contents as below

Code:

good is good
but good is sometime bad and sometime good
you are very good and good is always good

So the script should search for pattern "good" and give me output as "7" as good appears seven time

Now my concern is

I tried in linux with code. It is giving me desired output.
But on SunOS "-o" not working.

Code:

grep -o good test.txt|wc -w

So please advise script by which I can achieve it with sed/awk or any other command.
Many thanks
