Get Count of all files in all the directories
Hello,
I am looking for a way to get the TOTAL COUNT of the files present in all directories(sub directories) under the root directory..The files can be of any type viz. txt, doc, html, wav, jpeg etc. If it has an extension, it has to be counted..
I want to run the script from the root directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you.

No, This is NOT homework. I need to get the count of all files(irrespective of their extensions) under all the directories of the system, and I want to run the command/script under the root dir.
This is for my job purpose..

Thank you

Code:
find / -type f -name '*.*' -print | wc -l

or, if you want all files, regardless if they have an extension or not
Code:
find / -type f -print | wc -l
