Getting Number of Files with DIR

Comment:

Hi, I would like to get the number of immediate sub-directories there are for certain directories. The command I am using now is dir "dir_path" | find "bytes free" >> output.txt This gives me a line of output, e.g. 13 Dir(s) 25,086,881,792 bytes free What I would really like in the output file is to have just the number of directories, e.g. 13 in the example above. Can anyone help pls?

Maybe you could try this: if you manage to enter this line, as a series of parameters after calling a program: program.bat 13 Dir(s) 25,086,792 bytes free and then let the program.bat just perform: echo %1 .. this will then display "13" Miskva
