How to calculate the number of files in nested folders>

How could this be modified to not count files ending with some defined text?

Can you give an example of the text?

Do the files or the file names end with this text?

The following Terminal command should count all the files in folder 'test-directory' whose content does not end with 'my-text'.

The count excludes files with names starting with a dot.

d="/Users/me/test-directory"; t='my-text'; N=0; while read x; do [[ "$(tail -n 1 "$x")" = *$t ]] || ((N++)); done < <(find "$d" \! -name ".*" -type f); echo Number of files: $N ;

I have several aif and wav files in folders to count but I don't want to count any file names that end with -15 or -30.

This is what I have so far without filtering out file names ending with -15 or -30:

set theFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose Folder to Count Files" default location alias (the path to pictures folder as text)

tell application "Finder"

set foldercount to count folders in the entire contents of theFolder

set filecount to count files in the entire contents of theFolder

end tell

display dialog "Folder Count: " & comma_delimit(foldercount) & "

File Count: " & comma_delimit(filecount)

on comma_delimit(this_number)

set this_number to this_number as string

if this_number contains "E" then set this_number to number_to_text(this_number)

set the num_length to the length of this_number

set the this_number to (the reverse of every character of this_number) as string

set the new_num to ""

repeat with i from 1 to the num_length

if i is the num_length or (i mod 3) is not 0 then

set the new_num to (character i of this_number & the new_num) as string

else

set the new_num to ("," & character i of this_number & the new_num) as string

end if

end repeat

return the new_num

end comma_delimit

Open the folder with your audio files in a Finder window. In the Finder Window search box, type the following to suppress the files containing -15, or -30 in their names. If you have the Finder status bar enabled, a count of files not matching the above will be displayed.

The following AppleScript will return only the files found in the specific folder, and sub-folders that do not have a -15, or -30 in their filenames. The results come back as POSIX paths.

set myaudioPath to POSIX path of (path to home folder as text) & "Audio"

set myaudioList to {}

set myCMD to "mdfind -onlyin " & myaudioPath & " -name 'kMDItemFSName != \"*-15*\" && kMDItemFSName != \"*-30*\"'"

set myaudioList to do shell scriptmyCMD

display dialog (countparagraphs of myaudioList)

The following Terminal command counts all the files in folder hierarchy 'test-directory' whose file name does not start with a dot or end with -15 or -30. This will have to be modified if the names end with eg -30.wav.

d="/Users/me/test-directory"; find "$d" \! -name ".*" \! -name "*-15" \! -name "*-30" -type f | wc -l

Here is an AppleScript version:

set x to (do shell script "d=\"/Users/me/test-directory\"; \ find \"$d\" \\! -name \".*\" \\! -name \"*d\" \\! -name \"*l\" -type f | wc -l") display dialog "Number of files: " & x

It is preferable not to split the line after directory. It should be:

-directory\"; find
