Shell script to count and report the number of entries present in each sub directory mentioned in their path which is supplied as a command line?

can anyone give the answer fot this shell program..it's. for my university practical. exam please help me

People would love to help you on points where you're stuck, but do not expect a readymade script here... please!

However, let's know what work/research you've done so far on your own and mention that where are you stuck. Also explain your question little more for clear understanding.

Hope this will work for you. Just pass the directory as argument to the script.

That will fail on directories and files which have names including whitespace characters: space, tab and newline.

Hi Catkin, I just gave a hint. It also count upto 2 level of hierarchy only.

No

You signed up for the class, we did not. Presumably you went to the lessons that taught you the basics of how to do this, use those lessons to do your own work. If you did not go to class, it's your own fault that you don't know how to do this. If you did go but did not listen, it's your own fault that you don't know how to do this. If you did go and did listen but did not understand, then you should have gone to the professor for assistance LONG ago. If you did go to class did listen, did seek out help from the professor, and still do not understand, then perhaps this isn't the right field for you, and your grade should probably reflect that.

We will provide assistance and guidance, but we will not do your homework for you.
