Tom, is the search case-sensitive? Would you need to pass the -c parameter to grep for a non-case sensitive search?
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Actually, this might hurt your head less, tommyrot:
cat * | grep -cirh "panda"

What version of grep are you using, Eddie? In GNU grep, those options don't do what you think they do.
Tommyrot, the "/i" at the end of the "/panda/i" pattern makes it case insensitive.

Oh, OK, that makes sense.

grep 2.5.1-26
Ok, I just copied tommyrot's switches, but this would be more correct:
cat * | grep -ci "panda"

As I said before, that will only print out the number of lines that match, not the number of words.

Your tag here.
D'oh! Yeah, you're right.
Here:
cat * | grep -i "panda" | wc -w
or to go within directories:
grep -ir "panda" * | wc -w
Tom Scola - Aug 04, 2005 9:34:09 am PDT #3883 of 10003

That will count the number of words in lines that have "panda" in them, including all the words that aren't "panda".

Ok, you win... I need more sleep.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Or at least a longtime companda.
