A simple one # echo "jerry jerry" | tr " " "\n" | grep -c jerry 2
But what about jerry.jerry or jerry/jerry or jerry,jerry or....
Well he never stated a non-standard field separator, but if that is the case, with awk:
echo "jerry,jerry-jerry jerry" | awk 'BEGIN{RS="[^[:alnum:]]"} /^jerry$/ {jerry++} END{print jerry}'
That'll separate records by any non-alphanumeric.
(I had messed up the comparison on my first post)
