I have a folder with over 200 sub-folders (no sub-sub-folders). Is there a way to get a list of all of the sub-folders and the number of files contained in each folder? Any help is appreciated.
Example:
Folder A - 25
Folder B - 1
Folder C - 345
etc
From the parent folder in terminal: for dir in */ ; do echo "$dir: $(find "$dir" -type f | wc -l)"; done
If you had sub-subfolders, this would count the total files in the tree for each top level subfolder.
This is exactly what I needed. The terminal is fantastic. I don’t know what I’m doing there but I can copy and paste pretty good. 
I wasn’t able to change the directory to /Pictures/mypix:
If I entered “cd /Pictures”, it would change the directory to “Pictures”
If I entered “cd /Pictures/mypix”, it would state it couldn’t find that directory
I ended up just moving “mypix” into my home folder and running your script in the terminal. Worked fine.
Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. Take care.
Glad it helped! If Pictures/mypix was in your home folder, you would use ~/ instead of / (but you probably used ~/ to get to ~/mypix so who knows…)
Sorry, this was wrong - to change to the Pictures directory in the Terminal I just entered cd Pictures (no slash). Never could get to the sub-folder mypix within Pictures, so I just moved it into the home folder.
Anyway, you solved my problem and saved me a lot of time. Thanks again. 
Hey, just noticed my problem: mypix had a space at the end of the name, ie "mypix ". When I removed the space at the end of the name I was able to change the directory to mypix as a subfolder in Pictures. This kind of stuff drives me crazy.
Goodnight. Over and out.
In the terminal you can autocomplete file and folder names. If you type the first few letters of the file/directory (e.g. myp) and then press the tab key it will autocomplete the rest of the location/file you are navigating to. Very handy when you have a file with a very long name that you are trying to open.
