To count all files in a directory in linux, simply cd to that directory and then run the following command:
ls | wc -l
Alternatively, you can select the directory by adding the directory to the command like so:
ls /var/css | wc -l
Here, /var/css
is the directory you want to count the files in.
Counting all files in Window
To do the same thing on windows, use cd
to move to the directory in question, and then run the following on command line:
dir
This will list all files and directories in a folder, and tell you how many files and directories exist.
