Option 'C' --> Cumulative Match/Record Count.  Normally QTGrep only outputs the cumulative match and record count at the end of each file, option 'k', or at the end of the last file, option 's'.  This option allows the user to force QTGrep to output the cumulative count at the time this flag is recognized.  The output of this option is identical to the output for the 's' option.  The format is:
  Total         Matches: mmmmmmmmmmmm

    Pattern     1 Count: ccccc1 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 1
    Pattern     2 Count: ccccc2 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 2
    Pattern     3 Count: ccccc3 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 3
    Pattern     4 Count: ccccc4 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 4
    Pattern     5 Count: ccccc5 - User Specified Comment for Pattern 5
  Total Records Matched: llllllllllll
  Total Records Scanned: ssssssssssss
  where: mmmmmmmmmmmm == Number of Matches in File
                                 cccccx       == Number of Matches for Pattern Number x
                                     llllllllllll == Number of Records Containing Matches in File
                                ssssssssssss == Number of Records in File

  Note:  mmmmmm and llllll may not be equal if the 'a' option is active and/or if any matches spann multiple records

  Note: mmmmmmmmmmmm will equal the summ of all pattern counts, cccccx. mmmmmmmmmmmm == ccccc1 + ccccc2 + ccccc3 + ...

  Note:  The individual Pattern counts are output only if more than one pattern has been specified for searching.  The user comment appended to the end of each pattern count is specified in pattern files using the '#m' command.

The corresponding long option is: --cumulative-record-count=(on|off)

   Incompatible Options Are:
W
Write Compiled Search Patterns
Z
File  Preview
r
Replace Matches (Req Pat File)
z
Simulate Replace Matches
