Find how many times an error appears in a bunch of log files

Help & Support

Can anyone suggest anything for this.

Let’s say I have a folder with a lot of log files and I want to know which ones contain a specific error and how many times the error occurs in each log file. I can use the dopus find panel to show me which files contain the error but is there anyway for me to find out how many times the error is found in each file. If there was a way to know the line number even better but that’s just a bonus.

Thanks

Most text editors can do a “Find In Files” or similar which will show a list of matching lines across multiple files, and let you click each line to jump to it. That’s usually the best way.

There is a free tool called Agent Ransack which will do the job nicely for you.

OK thanks both. I'll take a look at Agent Ransack.
