How do I get a count of files in a folder in Perforce?

I would like to know how many files are in any given folder/directory/branch of a Perforce depot, but I don't see a way to do this. The p4 fstat command was my first thought, but it doesn't appear to have options to return file counts. Is there a simple way to get a count of files in a folder using either the graphical or command-line client?

Use the p4 sizes -s command.

C:\test>p4 sizes -s ...
... 5 files 342 bytes

or if you want just the count:

C:\test>p4 -F %fileCount% sizes -s ...
5

(obviously the file argument can be anything else in place of ... which is the current directory)

Powershell method:

To count the files in a specific directory:

p4 files //depot/dir1/dir2/... | Measure-Object

Alternatively:

(p4 files //depot/dir1/dir2/...).Count

The following will give you a list of all child directories and their file counts in an object that you can view as a table, sort, export to csv, etc:

p4 dirs //depot/dir1/* | Select-Object -Property @{Name="Path";Expression={$PSItem}},@{Name="FileCounts";Expression={(p4 files $PSItem/...).Count}}

While the p4 fstat doesn't offer a way to obtain file counts per se, you can easily parse its output to obtain this information. Note, this works in Windows, but I would imagine it is easily modified for other OSes. Here's how you do it:

p4 fstat -T depotFile //depot/some/folder/... | find /c "... depotFile"

It can also be done with the p4 files command as thusly:

p4 files //depot/some/folder/... | find /c "//"

Try this command:

p4 files //depot/dir1/dir2/... | wc -l

Explanation:

  1. p4 files //depot/dir1/dir2/... is the command that recursively prints the files under dir2 to screen.

  2. Pipe that through wordcount lines (| wc -l) to count the number of output lines.

This works in Linux/Unix systems, and in Windows if you're using cygwin (or some other Linux-like terminal).
