do you mean the count of matching lines? If so, then -c option will do it. From man page on a NetBSD system:
Hello milhan,
If you see OP's question carefully, OP needs to know total number of matched count of string NOT number of lines and as per your posted quote seems -c Option gives matched number of lines.
Take an example where a line contains a string in 5 lines but one line is having string 2 in a line then count should come 2 but this will not be the case as per man page lines you showed, though I can't test it as I am not in box as of now.
IMHO awk could be a choice for this one.
Thanks,
R. Singh
This User Gave Thanks to RavinderSingh13 For This Post:
When I type a command at the command line it supplies one result and the exact same command in a script
egrep '^01|^02|^03|^04' file > fileout
count = 29353
same count in the script yields a count of 23492
is there any reason this could be happening. (1 Reply)
