Re: Count string occurrences in text file
nope. no line breaks. I've looked at he files with a hex editor and found nothing. For all files, regardless of size, they contain only one line. no CR or LF.

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
I'm not familar with SED so I'm looking at their site for some more insight on the switches. I'm curious as to the \ before the search string
eg. sed "s/\&/n\/g" . . . . .
eg. sed "s/\&/n\/g" . . . . .

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
I've done that. I opened up the file in ultra edit and did a search -> find -> count for the string. there is one less than what my script is reporting. It may be that this script adds one too many line breaks.

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
Yes I understand what it is doing. Its the syntax that is a bit confusing. This is a support forum, is it not?

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
Well my intent is to count the number of times a string occurs in each file. So what might I check or change to remove this extra count?

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
No luck. No blank lines. one file actually is just one short line with none of the search string text in it. And still shows up as one.

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
One thing I just noticed is that this script adds 1 to the count for each file. For example, I'm expecting 25000 and it is giving me 25001.
Any thoughts?

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
The purpose is to confirm the number of records in the file. I am searching for the delimiter. For example, a "$", which seperates each record. I've got it working for one file as I update the script for each indivdual file I want to scan. But what I'dl like to do is have it display what f...

Re: Count string occurrences in text file
I know this is a really old thread. I've tried this and it works great. I was wonder how I might get it to loop through a series of files in a directory.
