Full Discussion: command to count files in dir
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting command to count files in dir Post 302096199 by RTM on Tuesday 14th of November 2006 10:29:54 AM

ls -1 | wc -l

This will give you a count of all the files (including directories). If you want just certain files, either change the ls command to look for *.txt (to look for files with .txt extension), or use the find command to look for certain types of files (see the man page for find, look for the -type option).
