Simple Bash cmd Help
 

Hello everyone,
Yes, I am a noob and I am trying to display a count of the number of subdirectories in a directory.

I have been able to use find -type d to list directories and subdirs but I want a numerical value of dirs and subdirs.

I know ls -l gives a count but when I try ls -l -d all it shows is "." I also have tried a combination with the -R option but nothing seems to be working for me.

Please forgive my ignorance but I am working on a script for class and this is the first step. Any help will be appreciated.
