this code works ok but i would like to make it echo the number of lines filtered for each matchtext ?

Code:
  
alias test {
  /window -ane @filter
  set %test.lines $lines(test.txt)
  var %g = 1
  while  (%g < %test.lines)  {
    /filter -ww @test @filter * $+ $read(test.txt,%g) $+ *
    inc %g
  }
}


it sorts to the @filter window and i tryed using $filtered but it doesnt seem to work correctly

edit: also when i did get it to echo anything it seems to echo 0 for lines that didnt match is there a way to exclude those lines from being echoed ?
