-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ah! I think I got it! Try this: lorenzo at taylor:~$ ls --help |grep [-][-] |wc -l 44 lorenzo at taylor:~$ Note, though, that this only seems to work on commands where every short option (-o) has a corresponding long option (--option). You will need to look at the -h or --help option first to see how the options may be specified and then tailor the grep expression to fit the specific command.
