Hi, 

Is there was to dynamically pass a value like below in Splunk for running a search from cli.

I am trying to write a script to find event count from source files on HF and compare event to count indexed by running the below search 

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk search 'index=*  source=${c2_source}/*.gz  | stats count' -uri 'https://<SH IP>:8089/' -auth admin:xxxxxxxxxx  2>/dev/null

Or  is there way to achive using restapi commands

I have implemented this way.

query="index=*  source=${c2_source}/*.gz earliest=-1d@d | stats count"

 event_count=$(/opt/splunk/bin/splunk search "$query" -uri 'https://<SH-IP>:8089/' -auth admin:password 2>/dev/null)

  echo $event_count
