how to join this 2 script together
 

for dir in $1; do
echo $dir: $(ls "$dir" | wc -l)
done

awk '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++){printf $i };printf "\n"}' < $2 | sort -n | tail -n1

How are they related? I see no natural join between the 2 snippets.

Also, please use [code][/code] tags when displaying code.

It first prints out the directory name and the total files that directory has.

So what has that got to do with the awk script? Also, it would appear this is a copy of a previous question you asked on how to find this information. Any reason why you have asked the same question again?

I thought this would be easy. Sorry about that.

It is not so much that it is difficult, but more that it is very unclear what you are trying to achieve?

I mean to combine them I could have simply said:
But I somehow doubt this is what you are after.
