directory file counter bash script

  for dir in */; do echo "$dir: $(find "$dir" -type f | wc -l) file(s)"; done



------------------------



The command:



```bash

for dir in */; do echo "$dir: $(find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l) file(s)"; done

```



counts and displays the number of files in each subdirectory of the current directory. Here's a brief summary of the components:



- **`for dir in */;`**: Loops through each subdirectory.

- **`find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type f`**: Finds files in the current subdirectory without going deeper.

- **`| wc -l`**: Counts the number of files found.

- **`echo "$dir: ..."`**: Prints the directory name alongside the file count.



The output indicates how many files are in each subdirectory.
