    Hi,

    I want to count the total number of files from an input file which contains UNC paths, i.e. \\server01\test\files

    How can this be done ?

    Thanks

    Bill

    Something like this?

    $counter = 0
    get-content unclist.txt |
    foreach-object {
    $counter += (cmd /c dir $_ /b /a-d).count
    }

    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

    Or this:

    foreach ($Path in Get-Content c:\InputFile.txt)
{
  Write-Output "$path = $((Get-ChildItem -Path $Path).count)"
}

    Get-childitem will work, but for just getting a count of files it seems like swatting a fly with a Buick.

    [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

    It should also be noted that mjolinor's solution is the only one that does
    files only. both Karl and Shay include folders in their counts.

    We also don't recurse....

    Of course, the original question did not meantion a recursive search, but did clearly say "Files" ;)
