I have a Wireshark log and I want to know how many such frames are present in the log. Is there any way to process the logs?

When you load the capture file in Wireshark you can see the number of frames (displayed as "Packets") in the middle of the status bar at the bottom:

You can also see more info about the capture file from the menu option Statistics -> Capture File Properties.

Thanks for the response, I can see the overall packet count, but I am interested in the count of a specific type of a frame from the log. for example the number of Application acks in the given log.

Got it, selected a frame and added a filter, and then got the frame count in the bottom bar. Did you also meant in the same way, sorry if I misunderstood.

Yes, there are two components to the status bar counts, the first is the total packets in the capture, the second is the number that a displayed given the current display filter. With no filter the two are equal.
