How to Get the count fo files in each subfolder

sanjangr · #1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2009

Hi
is there a command to get the count of files inside each sub directory in a directory.

example:
in a directory like this
/opt/:> ls
subdir1
subdir2
subdir3

I need to see the count of files in sub directories like this:
/opt/subdir1: 3 files
/opt/subdir2: 5 files
/opt/subdir3: 10 files

Many Thanks
Sanjan

Hi.

I suppose one simple way would be:

bash Code:

find . -type d | while read DIR; do
  ls $DIR | echo $DIR $(wc -w)
 
... or echo $DIR $(ls $DIR | wc -w) ... if you prefer!
done
