Probably best to do it in two steps. 1) Simply call ls to do the first bit 2) Calculating the totals. Read the bash manpage for how to use variables and how to add them together. You'll probably want to use something like `find . -type d -maxdepth 1 | wc -l` to count directories and `find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | wc -l` to count files. - Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
