combining commands
Hello all,
I am trying to list and count all the files of a particular type in any given directory. I can use the commands separately but when I combine them they do not give an output.
The command for counting the files is ls -1 | wc -l and for listing all the file of particular type say .torrent is ls -1| awk '/.torrent/{print};'. Now when I combine the commands to count and list all the .torrent file - ls -1 | wc -l | awk '/.torrent/{print};' - I do not get any output. Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thanks & Rgds

BUILDTORRENT(1) User Commands BUILDTORRENT(1)
NAME
buildtorrent - a torrent file creation program.
SYNOPSIS
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl input output
buildtorrent [OPTIONS] -a announceurl -f filelist -n name output
DESCRIPTION
buildtorrent is a torrent file creation program. Given an announce url and an input file or directory, buildtorrent generates an output
.torrent file that can be used by torrent clients.
OPTIONS
-a announce, --announce=url
Announce URL (required).
-f filelist, --filelist=filelist
A text file (or - for standard input) containing a list of files to add to the output torrent file, together with the path to use
inside the torrent. One file is given per line, use / as path separator for the torrent path, use | to separate the filesystem path
from the torrent path. Backslash can be used to escape newlines and | characters inside names. For example:
/data/files/linux.iso|bin/linux.iso
/data/files/linux.txt|doc/linux.txt
Using this option requires that the --name option be used.
-n name, --name=name
Specify the name for the torrent. Usage of this option is required when the --filelist option is used, in which case it specifies
the name of the torrent directory. Usage without a file list overrides the name of the directory or file given on the command line.
-A announces, --announcelist=announces
Additional announce URL list. Use , to separate outer level lists, and | to separate inner level items; for example:
a,b1|b2,c
-w webseeds, --webseeds=webseeds
Additional WebSeed URL list. Use , to separate items; for example:
a,b,c
-l length, --piecelength=length

-p private, --private=private
Private flag (either 0 or 1).
-D, --nodate
