Hello,<br />
<br />
Is anyone aware of a DOS\Windows based command line function or utility that when run will generate the number of files in a specified folder or directory? &nbsp;This seems fairly straightforward but I cannot locate such a function\utility for Windows\DOS based platform. I have seen multiple command line options for UNIX.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any assistance, this issue is urgent.<br />
