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
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
