How to write shell script for this?
I have seven folders in my folder
meas_2015-06-29_19-03-00 meas_2015-06-29_19-18-28 meas_2015-06-29_19-22-58 meas_2015-06-29_19-26-58 meas_2015-06-29_19-30-58 meas_2015-06-29_19-47-58 meas_2015-06-29_20-39-58
Each of them has inside them xml file,which contains all data about the measurements,including this line
<num_samples>245760</num_samples>
How to write a script that enters each of the folders reads the number of samples and writes them back on the screen?

Probably because you are searching for num-samples with a dash,. and not num_samples with an underscore.

I don't know how that worked anyway to get you an answer. You have a pattern, but need a file for the grep term, such as "*.xml"
Code:
grep -Ri "num-samples" "*.xml" | wc -l
I'd perform the grep without the pipe to wc first just to see what it finds and then add the pipe. |

No it is not working because all the xml files are in subdirectories.Again

The point is that we need to go to every subdirectory and there we can grep,but not before.

grep -R means "RECURSE INTO SUBDIRECTORIES"
Look very CAREFULLY AT WHAT YOU ARE TYPING.
Your searching for numDASHsamples,. when what is in your files is numUNDERSCOREsamples.
Read what you have been told, copy and paste the command correctly and come back when you have more information.
I said this already:

So copy and paste this command...
Code:
grep -Ri "num_samples" "*.xml" | wc -l
# ^^^^
# See? UNDERSCORE _ not DASH -

Try my way.
grep -Ri num_samples . | wc -l
My test:
Code:
root@scratch:~# mkdir meas_2015-06-29_19-03-00
root@scratch:~# mkdir meas_2015-06-29_19-03-01
root@scratch:~# mkdir meas_2015-06-29_19-03-02
root@scratch:~# mkdir meas_2015-06-29_19-03-03
root@scratch:~# echo "<num_samples>245760</num_samples>" > meas_2015-06-29_19-03-00/somefile.xml
root@scratch:~# echo "<num_samples>245760</num_samples>" > meas_2015-06-29_19-03-01/somefile.xml
root@scratch:~# echo "<num_samples>245760</num_samples>" > meas_2015-06-29_19-03-02/somefile.xml
root@scratch:~# echo "<num_samples>245760</num_samples>" > meas_2015-06-29_19-03-03/somefile.xml
root@scratch:~# grep -Ri "num_samples" "*.xml" | wc -l
grep: *.xml: No such file or directory

Works but wrong number
grep -Ri num_samples .|wc -l
28
<num_samples>245760</num_samples> in 263_2015-06-29_19-03-00_2015-06-29_19-05-00_R000_2048H.xml
<num_samples>11796480</num_samples> in 263_2015-06-29_19-18-28_2015-06-29_19-19-58_R000_131072H.xml
and so on

While szboardstretcher's grep form does work I've realized that instead for something like this I prefer using the find command with -exec for the grep:
Code:
$ find . -name "*.xml" -exec grep num_samples {} /dev/null \; | wc -l
And I don't think that it gave you the incorrect number, remove the "| wc -l" term and physically could how many occurrences of num_samples it finds. I bet it is 28.

Not to hi-jack the thread, this is actually related though. Can you, or someone explain why grep won't work with "*.xml" but does work fine with . (DOT), and actually * (STAR), but "*.*" or "*.xml" do not work. Meanwhile the find works fine. |

STAR symbol for grep doesn't mean 'any character' as it expected (like in terminal). It is something different - repetition operator:
