I sometime need to check some logs and I do this with this command:

egrep -o "success|error|fail" <filename> | sort | uniq -c

Sample input:

test error on line 10

test connect success

test insert success

test started at 00:00

test delete  fail

Sample output:

1 error

1 fail

2 success

I would like to know if someone knows a way to do this with a shorter command?

Before you ask why I would like to do this with an different command... No special reason, I'm just curious :)
