Question To find multiple strings count in a file
I need to find the line count of multiple strings in a particular file. The strings are as follows:

bmgcc
bmgccftp
bsmsftp
bulkftp
cctuneftp
crbtftp
crmpos
cso
gujhr

I am doing manual grep for each of the string to find the line count. The command i am using right now is:
grep mark push.cdr.20071123.144325 | wc -l

Is there any better way of doing this.


Thanks

awk '{ arr[$0]++ }END{for ( i in arr ) { print i, arr[i] } }' file

Hi, salaathi.

You didn't say anything about the input file. Here's a script that allows a general input file. The file is broken apart, sorted, counted, and searched according to your list:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env sh

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate counting strings in arbitrary text file.

set -o nounset
echo

debug=":"
debug="echo"

## Use local command version for the commands in this demonstration.

echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")"
version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version bash tr sort uniq grep

echo

FILE=data1
STR=strings1

echo " Input file:"
cat data1

echo
echo " Results of carving, sorting, counting, searching pipeline:"
tr ' ' '\n' <$FILE |
sort |
uniq -c |
grep -f $STR

exit 0

The input file has a number of your words scattered through a file of randomly generated strings. The script then produces:
Code:
% ./s1

(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
GNU bash 2.05b.0
tr (coreutils) 5.2.1
sort (coreutils) 5.2.1
uniq (coreutils) 5.2.1
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

 Input file:
Ekinsud myel irradiate persona chufte spumsuds diagnosable
esplanade dregh.  Minoan victor ighent intellectual otem
ensodsil.  Swibsik exclusion cereal transpacific loin florican
flagellate charm snick.  bulkftp cctuneftp cso bulkftp Adoptive
launch marrow gridiron heredity sulfa cultivable mutate sterile
partisan chamois.  Testamentary miraculous otsonsev silverware
cso bulkftp cctuneftpd meridian?  Scev quarterback hare hood
spectral adrift bourbon bulkftp cctuneftp cso cctuneftp
employed.  Doctrine win benevolent ethic plumbago trailhead men
Mbabane diagnoses incorrect Claire.  Assess yoke summate variate
Freddy fluid Rwanda confine Albany southbound origin.  Keel
Chapman prep blueback thirteen Halpern.  Piss affricate AZ
fanfold Lebanese rollick topocentric butte honorific pretext cso
cso bedevil?  Ers douce Wilhelm deniable seater scherzo.

 Results of carving, sorting, counting, searching pipeline:
      4 bulkftp
      3 cctuneftp
      1 cctuneftpd
      5 cso

If your input file does not need to be broken up, then you can eliminate the first step, the tr. See man pages for details ... cheers, drl

The same i tried with some for statement.
It's working fine.

Thanks for your response.

FILENAME=
string=
echo "enter file name :\c"
read FILENAME
echo "enter string to find seperated by space:\c"
read string
for rc in $string

grep $rc $FILENAME | wc -l
