Simple file count question

[Dave Carrera]

Hi List,

I know this is going to be simple but I cant find a suitable answer by
trawling the web so I ask how do I count the number of certain files in a
directory?

So I am in my dir and want to count how many files begin with db and show me
the number.

I hope you can help me and thank you in advance for any help you may give

Dave C
