How do I grep a specific line in Linux?
The -n ( or –line-number ) option tells grep to show the line number of the lines containing a string that matches a pattern. When this option is used, grep prints the matches to standard output prefixed with the line number. The output below shows us that the matches are found on lines 10423 and 10424.
How do you grep the number of lines?
Using grep -c alone will count the number of lines that contain the matching word instead of the number of total matches. The -o option is what tells grep to output each match in a unique line and then wc -l tells wc to count the number of lines. This is how the total number of matching words is deduced.
