Well, if you want it you can have it.  It doesn't seem to be doing *me*
any good at the moment.

Once you choose the second alternative, you need a way to get the
number of hits from the number of lines in the file. 'wc -l' can do
that for you.

Yes, of course.  But in all these methods we're still generating a call to
the system to write to a file, right?  (Granted, we're not *reading* from
the file, so we've reduced the number of calls to the system.)
