Problem with search pattern
Can anyone help me in a scriptfor below example which has to find the string "System && Passcode 0" or "System && Failcode ??"

If this searched string occurs consecutively 4 times it should provide output as error


S.No : Program: Status
1. was : Passcode 1
2. System: Passcode 0
3. System: Failcode 11
4. System : Failcode 12
5. war: Failcode 12

         cnt=0
   fi
   if [ $cnt -eq 5 ]
      then
         echo "yep, it met the criteria"

You can (1) remove the echo of the cnt as it just shows the step-thru of data; (2) adjust the match criteria to what you need; etc...
