Hi,

I am trying to use for loop like
count=0
for file in *.*
do
count='expr count + 1'
done
echo count

But this scrip takes the . as a file even there no files in the directory it says one file is there ..

how can I over come this

Thanks in advance
prakash

Note - code uses back tick ` not single quote '

i=0
for FILE in `ls *.*`
do
        echo "--> $FILE"
        ((i=i + 1))  
done
echo "$i files"
