Thanks adderek. Your solution fixed everything.

Here is the final code:
Code:
for file_or_directory in *;do
[[ -d "${file_or_directory}" ]] && {
    cd "${file_or_directory}"
    echo "${file_or_directory} has $(ls -1R | wc -l) files"
    cd "${OLDPWD}"
}
done

and outputs:
Code:
clients has 7099 files
current projects has 1230 files
orgainise has 1733 files
toserver has 60203 files
webiste stuff has 831 files

prj2make

prj2make(prj2make 1.0)													    prj2make(prj2make 1.0)

NAME

       prj2make - Makefile generator from Visual Studio and Sharp Develop solution files.

SYNOPSIS

       prj2make options file

DESCRIPTIOn
       The  prj2make tool will produce Makefiles or NMakefiles from Visual Studio solution files (files ending in .sln or .csproj) or SharpDevelop
       combine files (files ending in .cmbx or .prjx).

       This tool is commonly used to compile on Unix source code which has been originally developed with Visual Studio or SharpDevelop.

       This tool can also be used to convert Visual Studio project files  (.sln  or  .csproj)  into  Sharp  Develop  .prjx/.cmbx  files,  use  the
       `-csproj2prjx' for this.

       By  default  prj2make  will produce Makefiles suitable to be consumed by Unix Make.  If your application needs to target nmake, you can use
       the option `-isNmake'.

OPTIONS

       -c , -isCsc
	      Use csc instead of mcs on the generated files.

       -csproj2prjx
	      Runs in conversion mode, and turns a csproj/sln into a set of prjx/cmbx files.

       -n , -isNmake
	      Produce makefiles suitable to be used by Nmake.
