File this under #shell #functions I should have written years ago:
function grepc {
#Do a grep -c, but skipping files with no results
grep -c "$@" |grep -v ':0$'
}
Today's #APOD's a looker ;)

Title: Orion: The Running Man Nebula
P.S., the body of the parent #toot was created by a simple #shell #function:
function apod {
#Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day info-fetcher
curl -sL 'https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html' \
|grep -m1 "[0-9][0-9]:" \
|sed 's/^/Date: /;
s|: *<a href="|\nURL: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/|;
s/">/\nTitle: /; s/<.*$//'
echo
echo "#NASA #Astronomy #PictureOfTheDay"
