Count word in one line and <enter>

Thank you for replying, actually, I want to count how many line has that word. It does not a problem if the word is repeated or not as long as the word is found in the line. For another example. I have a 5 lines of sentences. <text> I have a green apple. I have two apple. Green apple and red apple. I have an orange. My brother has red apple and green apple. I have an orange but my friend give me red apple. I do have orange and two books. The two books are given by my friend. </text> In this case, I have 4 lines of words. So If I want to count how many line contains 'apple'; I will receive 4 lines. If I want to count how many line contains 'red apple'; i will receive 2 lines/ If I want to count how many line contains 'two'; I will receive 2 lines. If I want to count how many line contains 'two' or 'green'; i will receive 4 lines If I want to count how many line contains 'red apple' or 'green apple'; I will receive 4 lines. >Huh?
