count items in a folder

[Anon]

I am wanting to count the number of items in a folder and write a conditional statment based on the number of files found in the folder.

what is the best way to retrieve the number of items in a folder?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

You'll have to read each entry in the directory and increase a counter every time.
