      Want to check how many times 855834693 & 855834706 repeated in a file?
      these 2 numbers appeared multiple times in a file and I want their combined count.
      Do you think it is possible?

        It is possible. You need to use a regular expression (regex) in the Find window and have search mode set to “regular expression”.
        Find what:855834693|855834706

        Press the count button.

        This regex uses alternation, that’s the pipe character between the numbers to say either number will count as 1.
