It seems such a simple idea, being able to do a file count, but I can't
find a function that does this. I've read several books and online
tutorials, and I can't find an answer to this question anywhere.

As it is, I'm stuck using a while-loop to take a count based on the file
names. This is both crude and will slow down the script a lot when the
directory in question gets really big, as it inevitably will. So if
anyone can help me simplify this with a file-count function, you'll be
my friend for life.
