Can we get output on ls | wc -l command on the same line?
can we get o/p of
Code:
ls | wc - l

command on the same line.


Code:
[root blg]# ls nc*010412* | wc -l
     23
[root blg]# ls nc*010412* | wc -l
     24
[root blg]# ls nc*050412* | wc -l
     21
[root blg]# ls nc*040412* | wc -l
     23
[root blg]# ls nc*070412* | wc -l
     22

my expectation is grepping specific lines from the file and getting output like this

Code:
010412   23
050412   24
040412   23
070412   22

will not work for 2 reasons:

1) the requirement is to get the number of files with the pattern and not the number of lines in the files.

2) the first output line will be
Code:
wc: 0653-755 Cannot open cat.
