Can this be shortened? 1

[Kipnep70]

I've written a one-liner that will search for pattern in a file and then print the total lines that a match was found on.

 awk '/HCART/ && !/NONE/ { $0=a++ }; END{ print a }'

Basically I was just trying to avoid 'wc -l' for fun. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

A shorter version:

awk '/HCART/&&!/NONE/{++a}END{print a}'

Hope This Helps, PH.

How about:

grep 'HCART' MyFile.txt|grep -vc 'NONE'
