Is this a homework assignment? Homework and coursework questions can only be posted in the Homework & Coursework forum under special homework rules.

Please review the rules, which you agreed to when you registered, if you have not already done so.

If you did not post homework, please explain the company you work for and the nature of the problem you are working on. And, tell us what operating system you're using. We would assume that by now you have tried the code you have shown us and know that it produces syntax errors instead of giving you the results you want. We would also hope that you have looked at the find man page (using the command man find) to determine the correct syntax and know that the find command does not set variables to counts of selected pathnames.

If you did post homework in the main forums, please review the guidelines for posting homework and repost in the proper forum.
