Hi, Is there any package that enables one to count the number of files in a directory(s) and/or number of packages installed on a system. Thanks...
Well to figure out how many files in a directory (not including directories and not including files in sub directories:
'find <path> -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l'
To find how many directories and files in a single directory (still not including sub directories)
'find <path> -maxdepth 1 | wc -l'
Both can be applied, removing the '-maxdepth 1' parameter, and checking the directory specified and all it's subdirectories.
so 'find <path> | wc -l' would tell you how many directories and files (including subdirectores and their files/directories) are present in the given path.. you get the point.
There might be better ways to do this I don't know.
Note when not using -type f, one directory will be counted as the current directory.
