BATCH: Count the folders inside a directory and return them in a variable

Why the -1 ?. Anyway I solve it for those who are curious use only this line:

@Echo off Dir / ad | find "dirs" > dir.txt

For / f "" %% A IN (dir.txt) do if not defined _folders set "_folders = %% A"

Echo Total folders ^ >% _ folders%

Thanks anyway;)

for /f %%a in ('dir /ad /b ^| find /c /v ""') do echo Total carpetas: %%a

• The dir /ad /b command generates the list of folders (not including . and .. ) This list is filtered by the find command
• The find command counts ( /c ) the number of lines that do not comply ( /v ) the condition of not containing any characters ( "" )
• The result is processed by a for /f that stores in %%a (the replaceable parameter indicated) the number of folders.
