If just counting, you probably don't want to use ll, just ls -d:
find /home/w01/ -type f -exec ls -d {} + | wc

OK, maybe I'm just being dense here (and, as you might remember, Dennis, I can be Dense As Lead), but why bother with the "- exec ls -d" stuff? Since there's a "-type f" on the find, isn't the ls superfluous?

>Mike: but why bother with the "-exec"

You're exactly right. Just count the find output.
