I need to count the number of instances of a dir in a set of dir with the same suffix .txt (one dir and all recursive directories).

<Main Dir>
<sub_dir1>
<sub_dir2>
<sub_dir3>
<sub_dir4>

and count the number of instances of a type of file, ie/ .txt files

ls -R1 *.txt |wc -l

find /dir -type f -name "*.txt" | wc -l

This will count files with the same extension...

Code:

find . -type f -print|awk '{print match($0,/\.[^/]*$/)?substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH):"No Ext"}'|sort|uniq -c

...which gives...

Code:

     12 .env
      7 .gif
      2 .htm
     26 .html
      8 .inf
      2 .ini
