Grep the number of occurences in a file, counting multiple hits per line
Grep prints one line per match. To return the number if matches, use the -c switch:
grep -c "something" filename
However, if a word appears more than once in a line, it is only counted once.
To count every match, you can use
sed
Show archive.org snapshot
to force line breaks on multiple matches:
sed 's/something/something\n/g' filename | grep -c "something"
