Change the -l to -lR if there are subdirs in that directory. Or if you want to know how many .jpg pix, use "ls -l *.jpg|wc -l". The list goes on The wiki is educational about how to make bash dance to your tune, but for this I'd druther use its default behavior. bash can be and is a very powerfull scripting language, I've ported nearly everything I ever wrote in ARrexx, the universal do anything language for the Amiga from 25 years ago, to bash, and they've worked at least as good as on the Amiga. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

The question that was asked was a yes-or-no question. And the answer to it is "no". However, some people will not perceive "no" to be a USEFUL answer, so I provided an answer with much more depth. "ls -l|wc -l" gives you the number of newlines contained in a stream generated by printing the names of SOME of the files in the current working directory. It omits all of the filenames that begin with a period. It includes all of the newlines that are contained within filenames, and thus gives an inaccurate count if any of the filenames contain newlines. Since this is a Debian mailing list, I won't attempt to go into the behaviors of ls on other Unix-based systems. The two problems already mentioned should suffice for this list.
