Re: [tlug] GREP basics

[Charles Muller <acmuller@example.com>]

The immediate and accurate solutions to my GREP query are deeply
appreciated. Both the GREP and PERL methods worked fine (but PERL was about 5
times faster) as you can see below:

[chuck@example.com ddbxml]$ grep "<hdwd>" * | wc -l
  23765

[chuck@example.com ddbxml]$ perl -ne '$m += split /<hdwd>/; --$m; END {print "$m\n"}' *
23765


       The documents in question are structured dictionary XML documents where
there can only be one <hdwd> on each line, so that was not a problem. Now
I'll do a little research to try to learn a bit about how both of these work.

Thanks!!

Chuck
