Basic Arithmetic?

[MianoSM]

I'm unable to come up with a script that works at all for this....

What I want to do is have a simple grep go through a file (000000*.log) each day, and search for the word "new", and add up the sum of all of those "new" words.

I tried to do it in bash, but have yet to come up with anything successfully. : (

Can't you just use 'wc -l' or am I misunderstanding the problem?

grep "new" 000000*.log | wc -l

[MianoSM]

That is exactly what I needed thank you very much. : )

[Mr. C.]

grep -c new 000000*.log
