Why wouldn’t grep or one of its relatives do this for you? If you look at the man page for grep it looks like it could (as long as it’s not a binary pdf)

     The grep utility searches any given input files, selecting lines that
     match one or more patterns.  By default, a pattern matches an input line
     if the regular _expression_ (RE) in the pattern matches the input line
     without its trailing newline.  An empty _expression_ matches every line.
     Each input line that matches at least one of the patterns is written to
     the standard output.

  -c, --count
             Only a count of selected lines is written to standard output.
