Wow, I got around 30 replies in 10 minutes. What a great list.
The answer is: ls -l|wc -l The ls -l lsits the files and the wc -l count
the number of lines listed. You can use ls -R|wc -l to list all and count
all sub directories.
find . -type f | wc -l was also suggested but I used the first one.
Thanks to all.
