CentOS - Oct 2007 - question on grep

Is there a command line option on grep that says
count ALL occurances on a line not just the first one???

echo "jerry jerry" | grep -c jerry

only returns 1 and not 2.
Looking at the man page I did not see anything like that.

Thanks,

Jerry

Grep can just count the number of lines with occurrences not the
number of them.  You can do it in perl though.


# echo "jerry jerry" | perl -lane '$count = grep $_ =~ m/jerry/,
@F;
print $count'
2
