find /path/to/dir -type f -name db\* -print | wc -l
would count the number of files that begin with 'db' in the name, under the
'/path/to/dir' directory. man find and man wc for more action.
Be careful in case that directory contains subdirectories, since 'find'
will traverse
find /path/to/dir -type f -name db\* -print | wc -l
would count the number of files that begin with 'db' in the name, under the
'/path/to/dir' directory. man find and man wc for more action.
