hi...

i was actually looking for something similar to the ms dir function, where i
can have the files listed, along with the size of the files, and the total
number of files at the end of the list..

thanks

-bruce

Not really, as that mixes dirs and files. So for a directory with files
and subdirs the result of

ls | wc -l    !=   find . -type f | wc -l

And hidden files and dirs are not counted as well.


for dir in $(find /home/image/ -type d)
    do echo ">> current dir: ${dir}"
        find ${dir} -type f
        echo -n "<< number of files: "
        find ${dir} -type f | wc -l
        echo
    done
