如何计算linux中的文件夹数量？

Question

How to count the number of directories on the desktop? I get only a list of folders, but I need only the number of folders and I absolutely don't understand how to do it! :(

PS NOT files, ONLY folders

thank you!

Answer 1

try:

ls -d ./* |wc

ls -d ./* should give you a list of directories and wc Count it

Answer 2

Use wc to count the lines of output after getting the list of folders would be one option. Assuming your operation outputs one line per folder. As an example: cat myfile.txt | wc -l cat myfile.txt | wc -l

In order to only find the folders you could use something like find in a fashion like this: find . -type d find . -type d
