Commad equal to Grep

Hi can someone let me know how I can grep or get-content a file, and show how
many line we have an entry with the same string?

Thanks

Select-String -Path <File> -Pattern <SomePattern>

If you want a count either...

(Select-String -Path <File> -Pattern <SomePattern>).Count

Or:

Select-String -Path <File> -Pattern <SomePattern> | Measure-Object

Note that the Pattern parameter is a regular expression unless you also
specify SimpleMatch.
