You might like man find better.
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +111 -print
finds and prints executable files in the path.
find `echo $PATH | sed 's/:/ /g'` -perm +111 -type f | wc -l
does something rather different. I'm pretty sure the -type f and wc -l
aren't going to do what you want, assuming I've guessed what you really
want ;-)
Have fun,
