need help with DOS command or script

[DougP]

I want ot quickly see the files and the number of files in a folder.
I have this code which works great for puting the names of files in notepad txt file
then I have code whihc counts files but it only counts them whereever the bat file is setting I want to mody this to count file in the folder I specify and also maybe put that number at the bottom of the text file.

dir "C:\Users\z533560\Documents\Time Reporting Validation\06_23_12 Newtech Timesheets\Voz" /b /on > "C:\Users\z533560\Desktop\TimesheetsFiles.txt"

notepad TimesheetsFiles.txt

set c=0
:TOP
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in ('dir "C:\Users\z533560\Documents\Time Reporting Validation\06_23_12 Newtech Timesheets\Voz" /a * /b /s') do (
       call set /a c=%%c%%+1
)
ECHO %c% Files.
REM save the %c%  number to the bottom of the text file?

TIA

You could try substituting:
DIR %1

in the first line instead of using:
dir "C:\Users\z533560\Documents\Time Reporting Validation\06_23_12 Newtech Timesheets\Voz" /b /on > "C:\Users\z533560\Desktop\TimesheetsFiles.txt"

To add the counts to the end of the file, try this:

ECHO %c% Files >> TimesheetsFiles.txt
">>" says to append to the end of the file.
