oh you are looking to do something like :  
cat log.txt | grep "a string" | wc -l 

<loadfile srcfile="${output}" property="contains.errors">
        <filterchain>
               <linecontains>
                   <contains value="${lookingFor}"/>
            </linecontains>
       </filterchain>
 </loadfile>
 <echo file="${basedir}/temp.txt" message="${contains.errors}"/>

So now you have the lines from the ${output} which contain ${lookingFor}
in a temp file temp.txt

After this, you could use the example Matt gave to find out the number
of lines in temp.txt

Hope this helps.
