I am new to shell programming. Can anyone help me out with anyone of these?
Display a count of the number of regular files, the number of symbolic links, the number of sub-directories, the number of block-special files, and the number of character-special files in the directory.
I don't know how to do any of them. If you can help with one, I'm sure I can figure out the rest. Any help is useful. Thanks.
Thanks both of you. Both answers proved to be very useful. I now have a much better understanding of find and wc. also, I now feel very confident about the pipe key, whereas before I was somewhat unsure about it. thanks again.
