Listing number of files

[Jenkins, Jeremiah]

I'm wondering if it's not counting directories....

the find command after I saw that was like duh, much easier....

if you have time, just for giggles, try ll -R|grep ogg |wc -l and see if
that reports the same number as the find commands.

Thanks, this does the job nicely. Jeremiah: your solution, although giving  
me a figure, seems to me a little out so I'm not exactly sure what else it  
is counting... :)
