count folders and subfolders with batch file

Question

I am looking to create a batch file that when given a pathway, it will count all the folders and sub folders within it. So far I am only able to gather the number of folders within the 1st level of the pathway. I will then pipe it to a text file.

Here's what I have so far:

for /f %%a in ('dir /b /ad %folder%^|find /c /v "" ') do set count=%%a
echo %count% folder(s^)>> !output!

Am I close to getting what I want? What do I need to tweek?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Add /s to include all subfolders:

for /f %%a in ('dir /b /s /ad %folder%^|find /c /v "" ') do set count=%%a
echo %count% folder(s^)>> !output!
