echo command and piping
Hi,
I have heard you can use the echo command and piping together and was wondering if you can help me out.
I want to be able to use the echo command and pipe together to tell me how many files are in my current working directory, which have only my username read, write and execute permissions.
Is this at all possible?

Hi,
I was wondering why ls * | echo does not print the contents of the directory to the screen? The way I see it, ls * returns a whole lot of information, and then we pipe all this info to echo, so surely it should all come to our screen!
Is there a serious flaw in my understanding?
