How can I count the files in a directory? I couldn't find anything relevant in the class reference of NSFileManager
.
Browse to the folder containing the files you want to count. Highlight one of the files in that folder and press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A to highlight all files and folders in that folder. In the Explorer status bar, you'll see how many files and folders are highlighted, as shown in the picture below.
The easiest way to count files in a directory on Linux is to use the “ls” command and pipe it with the “wc -l” command. The “wc” command is used on Linux in order to print the bytes, characters or newlines count. However, in this case, we are using this command to count the number of files in a directory.
Use File Explorer Open the folder and select all the subfolders or files either manually or by pressing CTRL+A shortcut. If you choose manually, you can select and omit particular files. You can now see the total count near the left bottom of the window. Repeat the same for the files inside a folder and subfolder too.
contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:error:
returns an NSArray
. Just send count
to the array.
