ls -alR | grep ^- | wc -l That should show you just the "files" and not the directories but not any symbolic links, to show the symlinks too I'd probably try: ls -alR | grep ^[-l] | wc -l And last but not least, only the directories: ls -alR | grep ^d | wc -l Hope that helps a little. -- |<----------------------"Word-Wrap-At-72-Please"---------------------->| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
