Recursively count files in subfolders

Question

I am trying to count the files in all subfolders in a directory and display them in a list.

For instance the following dirtree:

TEST
    /VOL01
              


        

Answer 1

Similar to David's solution this will work in Powershell v3.0 and does not uses aliases in case someone is not familiar with them

Get-ChildItem -Directory | ForEach-Object { Write-Host $_.FullName $(Get-ChildItem $_ | Measure-Object).Count}

Based on a comment about keeping with your function and loop structure i provide the following. Note: I do not condone this solution as it is ugly and the built in cmdlets handle this very well. However I like to help so here is an update of your script.

Function DirX($directory)
{
    $output = @{}

    foreach ($singleDirectory in (Get-ChildItem $directory -Recurse -Directory))
    {
        $count = 0 
        foreach($singleFile in Get-ChildItem $singleDirectory.FullName)
        {
            $count++
        }
        $output.Add($singleDirectory.FullName,$count)
    }

    $output | Out-String
}

For each $singleDirectory count all files using $count ( which gets reset before the next sub loop ) and output each finding to a hash table. At the end output the hashtable as a string. In your question you looked like you wanted an object output instead of straight text.
