I am trying to put the list of files echoed with TEMP2 followed by the number got from the find command. I can list both separately, but I can do one next to another in the form of two columns.

Any idea of how to to this would be very helpful.

See useless use of backticks.

Also, you don't need awk | sed | grep | kitchen | sink to find only directories.

Also, you don't have to reopen the same file 10,000 times to write 10,000 lines, you can redirect the output of an entire loop.

ls "$ARCHIVE" | while read DIR
do
        [ -d "$DIR" ] || continue # Ignore non-directories

        for EACHFILE in "$ARCHIVE/$DIR/prob"*
        do
              TEMP3="${EACHFILE##*/}"
              TEMP2="${TEMP3%%_*}"

              # Use globbing to count files.
              set -- "$ARCHIVE/$DIR/${TEMP2}"*
              echo "$TEMP2" "$#"
        done
done > outputfile

cd $ARCHIVE
#for dir in `ls -l ${ARCHIVE}| egrep '^d' | awk '{print $9}'`
for dir in *
do
      [ ! -d "$dir" ] && continue
      echo $dir
done

If you need only look subdir, not subtree then

saved=$PWD

> $saved/output.txt
cd $ARCHIVE
for dir in *
do
      [ ! -d "$dir" ] && continue

      cd $dir
      cnt=0
      for file in prob*
      do
              [ "$file" = "prob*" ] && continue  # not exists any probe*
              echo "$dir/$file" >> $saved/output.txt
              ((cnt+=1))
      done
      echo "$cnt"
      cd $ARCHIVE
done

I wasn't sure what do you really need to do. But maybe previous give some ideas.

Short example tree and ex. output helps.
