Hammer & Screwdriver Perhaps this will provide a start?
My test directory did not have good filenames, but this appeared to be a good start at what you were looking for. (Script could probably be cleaned up some; late in the day here!)

Code:
> cat determine_files 
#! /usr/bin/bash

ls -l | grep "^d" | awk '{print $9}' | grep -v "^\." >P_WORK_DIR
while read P_DIR
   do
#   echo $P_DIR
   P_WORK_LIST=$(ls $P_DIR | cut -d"." -f2 | sort | uniq -c | tr "\n" "," | tr -s " " )
   echo $P_DIR" ("$P_WORK_LIST")"
done <P_WORK_DIR

> determine_files 
delete_extra ( 1 file100, 1 file101, 1 file102, 1 file103, 1 keep_two, 7 xml,)
files_with_spaces ( 1 f_list, 1 file 04, 1 file01, 1 see_blanks,)
indic_file ( 8 TXT, 1 makes, 1 sh,)
pass_var ( 1 file1, 1 sh,)
resnum ( 1 other0, 1 res0, 1 res1, 1 res19, 1 res2, 1 res4, 1 res666, 1 res9,)
scsi35 ( 1 35file, 1 dsk, 1 tmp,)

NAME

       list directory - Displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp list directory directory-name [with attribute-name = attribute-value]

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of  a specific directory.  The last simple name can contain wildcard characters.  The name of a particular attribute.  The

DESCRIPTION

       The list directory command displays a list of all the directories whose names match the specified directory name.  The last simple name can
       contain	wildcards.   You  can use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause to limit output only to directories whose attributes have

       You must have read permission to the parent directory.  If you use a with attribute-name = attribute-value clause in the command, you  also
       need read or test permission to the selected directories.
