How can I count the number of HTML files in my directories and subdirectories?

• In UNIX, get into the top directory you want to count.
• Then type in: find . -type f -name '*.html' | wc -l
  (wc=word count, l=lines)
• Press enter. The number it gives you will be the number of .html files in that directory, and its subdirectories.
• Caveat: If you have a symbolic link that goes to a subdirectory, it won't count the link file or any of the .html files in the subdirectory it sends you to.
