if I understand you correctly.... try ll -R |wc -l -----Original Message----- From: Dylan Parry [mailto:me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2004 1:43 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Listing number of files Hi, I know it's possible to list the number of files in a directory on the command line, but it is possible to recursively list the number of files in a directory and all it's child directories? When I right click on directory in KDE I can view the former, but what I am really interested in is the latter so, for example, I could find out exactly how many OGG files I have in total :) Cheers for any light you can shed ;) -- Dylan Parry http://www.webpageworkshop.co.uk - FREE Web tutorials and references -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
