Editor to share with you the method of Linux to calculate the number of Chinese pieces in the directory, I believe that most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

In Linux, we can use the ls command + wc command to calculate the number of files in a directory.

The command ls is used to list the contents of the directory; the wc command is used to calculate the numeric lines and characters in the file, and you can count the lines when used with-l.

To calculate the number of files in a directory, you need to use the following syntax:

# ls-1 | wc-l

Let's break down the grammar and see what it does.

● ls: listing files

●-1: this is one. It prints one entry per line. To print a hidden file, change it to-1a

● |: pipe output to.

● wc: counting word count

●-l: show only the number of rows

Example: let's take an example to see how these commands work.

Create a new directory, test_folder, and navigate to it.

# mkdir test_folder & & cd test_folder

Next, we will create some text files

# touch file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt file4.txt file5.txt

Let's confirm the existence of the file by listing them with the ls command

# ls-l

Output:

We use the wc command + ls command to calculate the number of files in this directory:

# ls-1 | wc-l

Output:

The above are all the contents of the method of calculating the number of pieces in the directory by Linux. Thank you for your reading!
