Total Number of Files/Folders?

Ok I would like to count the number of files/folders within a large folder directory i.e. iTunes Library, but I can't seem to find a way to do this on my iMac?? Usually with Windows systems, you would just right click and Properties and it would tell you the total number of files and folders within that directory. How do you do this on an iMac because I usually like to keep a track of the total number of files/folders within a directory???
Sounds like a very basic thing but I can't seem to figure it out on the iMac, please help people!!!

I copied and pasted the above and saved it as an application but it doesn't run when I click on it after saving it??
When I do save it as an application through AppleScript Editor to the desktop, do I need to tick any of the option boxes when saving which are as follows;
1. Run Only
2. Startup Screen
3. Stay Open

Hi Kiruthika,
1. You only need the configarchive if you don't want create all the KM configuration objects mentioned in the guide manually. So, just create the objects mentioned there and you don't need the configarchive
Also, the scenario works also on 2004s.
2. Please check this thread on how to show the total number of files inside a folder:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=19610
3. It would be nice if you would consider rewarding the time people like Saravanan spend to investigate and answer your question by assigning points via the colored stars.

FTP: how to get total number of files in directory

Hello Folks,
I prefer to use FTP from the command line but cannot figure out how--after having connected to a remote directory via ftp--to list the total number of files in that directory.
In Unix, I would do this:
% ls | wc -l
But hopefully there is also some way in FTP to do the same--but darned if I know how! I do see that FTP clients such as Transmit have this listing, but maybe that's a feature of the software and not ftp.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/tips.
Doug

I've done a lot of ftp scripts 10 years ago, mostly because I could not guarantee my scripted telnet would be available everywhere. The best answer today though is listed throughout this thread and that is to use the ssh family of commands that include ssh for secure remote shell, scp for secure remote copy and sftp which is the ftp interface to scp.
My point is neither telnet or ftp are considered safe or secure anymore because listening to communications is popular, it is referenced in most "wizard" magazines, and usernames and passwords are not encrypted.
Set up your environment first with ssh-keygen. Version 2 is more secure than version 1 if both are still offered. Then use "ssh user@hostname ls | wc -l" to get your number of files. It is simple execution with one command and returns a status.
If you are really looking for a solution using what you are familar with and want to ignore advice concerning security, here is a sample batch script (untested). You can change the filenames, usernames, and hostnames as desired.
rm dir.out 2> /dev/null
echo "user sampleuser samplepw" > script.ftp
echo "dir sampledirectory dir.out" >> script.ftp
echo "quit" >> script.ftp
ftp -n sample.hostname < script.ftp
if [ ! -r dir.out ] # file not created
then
echo login failed
elif [ ! -s dir.out ] # file created but empty
then
echo directory is empty
else
nf=`wc -l dir.out | cut -f1`
echo "There are $nf files in the directory"
fi

OS 10.9 Mavericks - Finder does not show number of files/folders

The finder, in all the past Mac operation systems (as far as I can remember), has shown the number of files selected as 1 of X and included how much space is left on the drive they reside in. Yet now that I have upgraded to OS 10.9 Mavricks that has been eliminated. Why is that? I have looked everywhere for a setting to get this back but have found none.
Anyone else see this as a problem or have found a solution?
Please fix this Apple! ASAP!

I'm not sure why they set it off instead of just using the preferences you had set. It grabs your other Finder Prefs.

Use Windows PowerShell to count and list total number of items in Folders E-Mail in Office Outlook?

I have the need to generate a list of all outlook folders and the total number of items listed beside each folder name. I thought I could simply modify the script from " http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/01/26/how-do-i-use-windows-powershell-to-work-with-junk-e-mail-in-office-outlook.aspx

I've found a way to export a list of all these folders using exportoutlookfolders.vbs to a txt file but doesn't include total number of items.
Looking for any pointers on how to make this work. Don't expect anyone to write it for me but I am still learning PS. Would be great to find a way to import all of these folder and subfolder names into the script. Will be appreciative of any advice though.

Since I am not and administrator, but an end user, I do not have access to the Get-Mailxxxx commandlets to make this really easy and had to do this long hand.
  The following will pull folder.name, folder.items.count, and sum the total size of each folder's items for all folders and their subs.
Just one warning, the summation can take some time with a large PST file since it needs to read every email in the PST.
There is also some minor formatting added to make the results a little more readable.
$o
= new-object
-comobject outlook.application
$n
= $o.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$f
= $n.GetDefaultFolder(6).Parent
$i
= 0
$folder
= $f
# Create a function that can be used and then re used to find your folders
Function
Get-Folders()
{Param($folder)
foreach($folder
in $folder.Folders)
{$Size =
0
$Itemcount
= 0
$foldername
= $folder.name
#Pull the number of items in the folder
$folderItemCount
= $folder.items.count
#Sum the item (email) sizes up to give the total size of the folder
foreach ($item
in $folder.Items)
{$Itemcount
= $Itemcount
+ 1
$Size =
$Size +
$item.size
Write-Progress -Activity ("Toting size of "
+ $foldername
+ " folder.")
-Status ("Totaling size of "
+ $Itemcount
+ " of "
+ $folderItemCount
+ " emails.")
-PercentComplete ($itemcount/$folderItemCount*100)
# just a little formating of the folder name for ease of display
While($foldername.length
-le 19){$foldername
= $foldername
+ " "}
#Write the results to the window
Write-Host ("-folder "
+ $foldername
+ "
-itemcount " +
"{0,7:N0}" -f
$folderItemCount +
"   -size " +
"{0,8:N0}" -f ($size/1024)
+ " KB")
#If the folder has a sub folder then loop threw the Get-Folders function.
#This two lines of code is what allows you to find all sub folders, and
#sub sub folders, and sub sub sub for as many times as is needed.

Total number of records in a file

hello experts,
I am getting a file to upload the data.... This file is containing one header record one trailor record and remaining data records...
how to read all the data into one internal table along with header and tralor record.
Because i have to control record validation. In the trailer record the amount what they were giving is the total number of records along with header and trailor
can anyone guide me how to do that
SRI

If thats an excel file then you can use function module
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = p_fnam
      i_begin_col             = 1
      i_begin_row             = 1
      i_end_col               = 100
      i_end_row               = 30000
    TABLES
      intern                  = iexcel
    EXCEPTIONS
      inconsistent_parameters = 1
      upload_ole              = 2
      OTHERS                  = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    WRITE: / 'EXCEL UPLOAD FAILED ', p_fnam, sy-subrc.
    STOP.
ENDIF.
Instead of passing 1 in i_begin_row you, if you know how many lines the header is going to be then you can ignore those lines and pass the number of the row which has the first data record. You can hard code the header because this is giong to constant.
Just a suggestion. Hope this works for you.
Thanks.

If by "map" you mean directory or folder, in the Library menu there is a toggle for "show photos in subfolders".

After formatting Western Digital 4 TB hard drive to Mac OS extended (Journaled), 1.11 TB of space has been used.
Number of folders 11. Number of files 59.

Is this a normal use of space?

Wait.... can the BIOS on your machine support greater than 3TB?
Most cannot.
4TB drives, from what I've read, require an all new drive controller. As older drive controllers would max out at 3TB's.

Total number of items in a folder

How do I find out the total number of items there are in a folder (including files within sub-folders)? Get info will show me the total size, but I'm sure there's a way of doing this but I can't remember how.

Files & Folders disappeared from the desktop!

I have a number of files and folders that just simply disappeared from my desktop. I have tried all of the "normal" recovery methods (restart, repair permissions, run Disk Warrrior and replace the directory, run Data Rescue II) but I find NOTHING!
I am totally baffled by this and cannot seem to find anyone who can give me an answer. HELP!
I was hoping the Apple board would have enough "experts" to help me find my missing data......

I have exactly the same problem, and I've already asked for some help on this boards but with no luck, and 10.4.9 didn't help, nor did the new bootcamp beta.
From what I understand this seems to happen only on Intel Macs that uses Bootcamp. When you boot back to OS X after using Windows, your desktop is like a black hole and everything you put in there just seems to disappear.
If you look for the missing file with Spotlight, it will find it, and if you click on it in the Spotlight window, the file will appear magically on your desktop.
So basically the files are there but the desktop is just not showing them.

Played with files/folders when trying to add 2nd library all messed up now.

I know there are many threads on this subject. First when I got my new laptop I transfered my library. It worked but the folder listings looked different/odd to me. Now husband decided he wanted a nano and I tried to add 2nd library to my laptop. I think I followed the directions but apparently did not. I also tried to move and drag some files/folders together because I have so many folders. There are multiple itunes, itunes music, ipod ?files/folders. I have the same problem as others ! shows up when I tried to play any songs. Find in other location. I found them but then what do I do? I barely know computer basics so any help needs to be very, very basic. How should I proceed? How should my folders look? Music-> iTunes->iPod-> Album Artwork->iTunes-> iTunes music etc. If I can't get itunes to work should I delete all music from computer and remove itunes and start over? Frankly I do not know why they don't have a video to follow to help computer stupid people like me. By the number of posts you would think hey make videos to cover these problems. My iPod 80GB is fine with everything present. I have been good about keeping back ups on disks. My music library contains only 140 music purchases and has a total of 900 songs, album artwork, and 25 photos. Any help would be great there is a lot of stress in the house about this subject. Thank you all for your time.

Mind if I wait around and see if you get an answer, cibt?
I can't fathom the iTs way of doing things - but not quite doing things. Are files Windows files of are they iTs? What job does the .itl file have? Is iTs just a series of pointers to (real) Windows files?
Can files be moved around Windows folders and be recognised by iTs, or is iTs a file manager too?
It's a dog's breakfast to me. Too clever by half. An entire system within another entire system. I'll be waiting..

Total Number of Megs in Pictures

How can I find out what the total number of megs are used in Finder/Pictures including folders as well as individual photos?
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Vernon

Select a file or folder of files and Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. The size of the file or folder is displayed in the top area of the window.
In any Finder listing of files the size of each file is under the Size header of the window.

How about something like:
Get-SPWebApplication http://yourWebAppUrl |
Get-SPSite -Limit All |
Get-SPWeb -Limit All |
Select -ExpandProperty Lists |
Where { $_.GetType().Name -eq "SPDocumentLibrary" -AND -NOT $_.Hidden } |
Select -ExpandProperty Items |
Where { $_.Name -LIKE "*.xsn" }
Select {$_.Web.Url}, Url
The above will list all of the files. Do you need counts by library, by site or other?
