Shell scaning bunch of report and doing count.

[bengalliboy]

Hi,
I got a report dir and under that I got different sub folder. The sub folders have diferent reports and all the report files have a return code value (0--10, 0 stands for no error). What I want to do is to scan all reports and count the error code by sub dir and finally display or email me the stat.

What would be the best way to go about this? Any sample code is appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Plz note I am using AIX and Kshell.

What have you so far ?
How the script is supposed to get the 'return code' from one report ?

Hi PHV!
This 1 line get me the script name and the return code:
----------------------------
grep 'return code' * |more
----------------------------

The result looks like this:
dddd0208_01: *** RC (return code) = 0
rrrr0209_01: *** RC (return code) = 0
ssss0210_01: *** RC (return code) = 0
gggg0211_01: *** RC (return code) = 0

My problem is, I need to go to all sub folder and get the reports and scan for the above return codes and count them.
Can this be done?
Thanks

Something like this ?
grep 'return code' * */* | awk '{t+=$NF}END{print "Total="t}'
