Urgent
File contains: baba�kkek�aklk���
bnbnbn�vmvm�
File name: Openfile
I want to find number of pipe(�) symbols in a file(count).That is total count of pipes in a file or a line.
I dont want number of line it occurs.
Try to search the forums first:
sed "s/|/|\\
/g" file | grep -c "|"
If you have Python, here's an alternative:
all_data = open("file").read()
print all_data.count("|")
Another solution using awk :
awk -v RS='' '{ print gsub(/|/, "") }' file
