I'm trying search -r ./ *.html

it's giving me "*.html - no such file or directory"

In linux:

find /path/to/root/directory -name *.html | wc -l

HTH. HAND.

Still here? How can I make this recurse the subdirectories under /path/to/root?

I tried using -mindepth 3 and it didn't seem to make any difference. I've got 98 subdirs and don't want to cd and run this in all of them

cd /path/to/root
find . -name "*.html" -print | wc -l

the "." should work, dont forget the quotes "*.html"

This should automatically descend into all subdirectories. For example:

find /usr -name *jpg | less

yields:

/usr/share/gtk-2.0/demo/background.jpg
/usr/share/doc/pygtk2-2.4.0/examples/pygtk-demo/demos/images/background.jpg
/usr/share/doc/mod_perl-1.99_16/docs/user/handlers/filter_life_shower.jpg
/usr/share/doc/mod_perl-1.99_16/docs/user/handlers/filter_life_player.jpg
/usr/share/doc/mod_perl-1.99_16/docs/user/handlers/filter_life_goggles.jpg
/usr/share/doc/mod_perl-1.99_16/docs/user/handlers/filter_life_mask.jpg
..etc...

Notice that the root was /usr. It'll find everything underneath... additionally, you can run the command from anywhere. If you need to count the files instead of seeing them, just pipe the output through 'wc -l' (word count, linecount only).

HTH.

Thanks again - it's working fine now. It only was showing the current directory earlier. I must have missed something

So.. I just uploaded 2,033 HTML pages and 3,684 jpgs. Search engines love that kind of thing..
