This is wat i was looking for. Can you tell me what is xargs and what does it do . Also, it gives me filenames and the count of string 'sachin' in that file. Is there any way that I can just get the total count without all the files list..

Or

Code:
$ for f in $(ls -l | awk '/Aug  2/ { print $NF }'); do grep -c 'sachin' $f; done

It's running fine for me. You can try another one.

Code:
total=0;for f in $(ls -l | awk '/Jun 22/ { print $NF }'); do cnt=`grep -c 'pravin' $f` total=`expr $cnt + $total`;done ; echo $total

If you are on Solaris, try "nawk" not "awk".
