Ha! I figured it out!

I just did it like this lol: print "There are",filecount( path), "files in this directory." and it worked lol.

Thanks for all the help bvdet. Could not have done it without your help.

Alright i got it. And its working perfectly now. Thanks so much bvdet.

Last question though. How can i make it so i can do something like this: "There are",_, "files in this directory." And make it so that the ,_, will display the number of files in the directory. I know that is the correct code right there, but i don't know what would replace the _ in the ,_, ?? How can i go about doing this?

Ok, i used that code you gave me and when i run the script, it works, but still does not display the number of files in the directory. When i do "python example.py" it executes and then directly moves on to the command line. I used raw_input() again to see if anything else was there, but still no output. :(

Alright well i've been working at this for a ridiculously longer amount of time than i think i should have been, so i finally gave up and that's why im here. I program in C++ and hardly do any python.. ever. So i need a little help and hope you all will be kind enough to throw some knowledge my way.

What i need to do, is count the files in the directory that my python script is currently in. It needs to be able to list ONLY the files,...
