How can I count files in a specific directory?

Hi,
a general method is starting with a command like:
DIR *.* > DIR.OUT
After that you read the file "DIR.OUT" as a text file.
It depends on what environment you are running what you get. For example with Windows NT you can do:
DIR *.* /X > DIR.OUT
and you get the long names and the short names.
To find out what your operating system can do, you can give the command
DIR /?
Some compilers have special routines for you to get the filenames in a general way. For example CA-REALIA has a DOS level interface.
I hope this helps you.
