Subject: Re: I'm looking for a program to count "!" for me.

Pete,

I saw a sample of the ascii text in another post.  If you have the "!" as a
comment to a move, it could appear after black's move and therefore my previous
solution will not work.  However, since the line you are looking for is at the
end of the game and all by itself the following should work:

grep -c ^!$ <filename>

The "^" represents the beginning of a line and the "$" represents the end of a
line.  So grep -c ^ <filename> or grep -c $ <filename> will return the number of
lines in a file.  grep -c ^!$ will return the count of lines where the ! is
preceded by the beginning of the line and followed by the end of line.
