Hello Alex,
I need to count the number of lines that contain a string in a file. I've a script making this but I think it could be easy to add this feature to the test log.
Regards,
Yannig |

Text Log test checks for NEW records only. If you need to calculate all occurence of the string, Compare Files test is more suitable...
You want to start alert when file contains more or less than specified number of strings?

Such check may need various options, so its good task for new test method.
H'm.. If I have time today, I create command line utility that can be used for Shell Script test method

Ok, utility available at www.ks-soft.net/download/cntlines.exe
Usage: | Code: |
Usage:> cntlines.exe <filename> <search mode> <limit> <search string>
Options:
<filename> - specify name of the file to check
<search mode> - one of the following parameters:
-exact - search for lines that exactly match specified <search string>
-start - search for lines that begin with specified <search string>
-anywhere - search for lines that contain specified <search string>
-total - calculate total number of lines in the file.
<limit> - number of lines. If number of matched lines exceed specified
limit, utility will return "bad" status to HostMonitor.
Otherwise status is "Ok".
If specified file does not exist, utility returns "Unknown"
<search str> - string that you want to find in the file
if you are using -total search mode, skip this parameter
Examples:
>cntlines.exe c:\logs\log.txt -start 100 "Error: "
>cntlines.exe c:\webs\log.txt -anywhere 999 "www.mycom"
>cntlines.exe c:\text\log.txt -total 500" |
Regards
Alex |

I am not sure I understand, do you mean filename should match the string?
