Question

I’m looking to count url pattern in access log like

action.php?show_page=next&offset=1&xyzzzzz

Note that I need all url where offset values are between 1 to 9. Examples:

action.php?show_page=next&offset=1&xyzzzzz
action.php?show_page=next&offset=2&xyzzzzz
action.php?show_page=next&offset=3&xyzzzzz
.............
action.php?show_page=next&offset=9&xyzzzzz

This is what I tried:

grep "action.php?show_page=next" access.log.2 | grep "offset=[1-9]&"| wc -l

Answer 1

One way using grep:

grep -oc "action.php?show_page=next&offset=[1-9]&xyzzzzz" file.txt
