Here's a little shell function that you can use. Just add these lines to your
~/.bashrc:lsc(){
## globs that don't match should expand to a null string
shopt -s nullglob
## If no arguments were given use the current dir
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
targets="."
## Otherwise, use whatever was given
else
targets=($@)
fi
## iterate over the arguments given
for target in "${targets[@]}"; do
## get the contents of the target
contents=("$target"/*)
## iterate over the contents
for thing in "${contents[@]}"; do
## If this one is a directory
if [[ -d "$thing" ]]; then
## collect the directory's contents
count=("$thing"/*)
## Print the dir's name (with a '/' at the end)
## and the number of items found in it
printf "%s/ (%s)\n" "$thing" "${#count[@]}"
else
## If this isn't a dir, just print the name
printf "%s\n" "$thing"
fi
done
done
}
then open a new terminal and run:
lsc /path/to/dir
For example, given the following directory (the
\012 are newlines in the names):
