Counting all Files Recursively in a Directory?

How to do it?

[Nick_W]

Can this be done using 'ls' or similar?

I need to find out how many files are in a directory that holds many sub-dirs that have sub-dirs etc etc....

Many thanks..

find(1) is you friend when you need to work with files in a hierarchy of directories. It has a very awkward syntax, but can do almost everything.
