<snipped alot> ... And last post regarding Linux commands in this

Consider-
how many hidden files or directories do I have..
ls -l .* | wc -l
But if I want to exclude the . and .. entries. I can't from ls. So I
must subtract 2 from the result.

No you mustn't. Just adjust the parameters to not include . and .. entries:

ls -l .?*

Or just get the count:

ls -l .?* | wc -l

Cheers.
