Hi pruthi,
I am not trying to print the no of files and directories together . But I need their count seperately.
Example :
If I have 10 ordinary files , 5 special files , 3 direcories etc. I should get their count seperately. I did this earlier but forgat the logic

Any way thanks for the reply.

Thnx & regards

find / -name "*" -type f | wc -l

The below command used to count the fikes and directorys

ls -rtl | wc -r | grep "^-r" --> for count the files.

ls -rtl | wc -c | grep "^-d" --> for count the directorys.
