One-liner: how to count the total amount of specific lines in several files

Let’s calculate the amount of lines, containing the word “extended” in */*.conf files:

egrep -c extended */*.conf | 
awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"; sum=0;}{sum +=$2} END {print sum}'  

BTW, using awk alone is slower:

time awk 'BEGIN {sum=0;}/extended/{sum++} END {print sum}' */*.conf
110653

real	0m0.94s
user	0m0.91s
sys	0m0.01s

time egrep -c extended */*.conf | 
awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"; sum=0;}{sum +=$2} END {print sum}'
110653

real	0m0.13s
user	0m0.10s
sys	0m0.02s

fgrep is slower than egrep:

time fgrep -c extended */*.conf | 
awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"; sum=0;}{sum +=$2} END {print sum}'
110653

real	0m0.21s
user	0m0.17s
sys	0m0.03s
