Practice 4: Inverting the Search with grep

Objective: Use grep to count the number of matching lines.
Instructions:

grep -c a Heroes.txt
2. Verify that the count matches the expected number of lines.

Practice 9: Recursive Search with grep

2. Search for IronMan in all .txt files in the current directory:
grep -r IronMan .
