[tlug] GREP basics

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

I have a directory that contains 82 files. I want to get a count of the
number of occurrences of the word "<hdwd>" in all 82 files.

But if I do:

[chuck@example.com ddbxml]$ grep -c "<hdwd>" * 

I get a list of the 82 files, with the number of hits in each listed next to
them, but not the grand total.

If I do:

[chuck@example.com ddbxml]$ grep "<hdwd>" * 

Then I get a list of each of the lines containing this occurrence, but again, no
total number at the end.

I have looked at all of the options listed in _man grep_, but I don't see
anything for listing just the total number of hits at the end.  I would
think that this must be a rather elementary GREP function, but I don't see
any explanation for it. Can anyone give me a clue?

Thanks,

Chuck
