for x in `find . -type d -maxdepth 2`; do y=`find $x -name "*.htm" | wc -l`; if [ $y != 0 ]; then echo $x - $y; fi done
This command is useful for webmasters who spend some time once in a while to figure out number of files in each of the website's subdirectories.
Notes
- The value of -maxdepth may be changed as needed
- The above command uses current directory (find . -type ...). The dot may be replaced by path of a directory of which the stats is needed.
- "*.htm" part of the filename may also be replaced with whatever you want

Wow, after trying my on my own and googling I haven't been able to find a way to do this until I ran into your blog. The only problem now is if the dirs have spaces in them. Thanks.
Here's the solution.
for loop uses $IFS variable to determine what the field separators are. By default $IFS is set to the space character. There are multiple solutions to this problem.
The solution is to set the $IFS variable.
Like the following
################################
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
for x in `find . -maxdepth 2 -type d`;
do
y=`find $x -name "*.htm" | wc -l`;
if [ $y != 0 ];
then echo $x - $y;
fi
done;
### restore $IFS
IFS=$SAVEIFS
#############################
That worked great. What I ended up doing was cheating and pointing jdiskreport at a samba share. It gave an excellent report in many different ways.
But this code will be useful when we need it quick and don't want to mess with mounting a share and running something like jdiskreport. Thanks for the help.
Hello Heen,
I'm glad that the code helped you :-)
Sure version :)
