I have a bunch of log files. I need to find out how many times a string occurs in all files.
grep -c string *
returns
...
file1:1
file2:0
file3:0
...
Using a pipe I was able to get only files that have one or more occurrences:
grep -c string * | grep -v :0
...
file4:5
file5:1
file6:2
...
How can I get only the combined count? (If it returns file4:5, file5:1, file6:2, I want to get back 8.)
