hello Adam,
you said that you know wc,...
didn't you try
ls | wc
i.e 'ls' piped to wc.
i think it works(atleast for me).
or you try
ls -l | wc
i think you want to count the no of files in a
directory. these will count all the files including
the directories. if you want to count just the files
and not directories, i have to think of someything
else.
think it helps.
