posted November 6, 2003 8:44 AM Nothing built in. I would just split the string on the CRLF's, then count any lines that start with the permissions as a file. You could play around with the params sent to ls to make it easier to parse. |

posted November 6, 2003 9:04 AM tony, thanks for your answer i was doing the same but listing was a really big anyhow used wc -l to get the count since the servers are always more powerfull than clients so why not do it there :) thanks again :) cheers! |
