Number of Files

For over a year I've been struggling to find out, either by Web searches or
man pages, how to get the number of files in a directory and its
subdirectories. KDE doesn't provide anything which does that as far as I
can tell.

The only way I managed to do this is: 

du -all >temp
wc temp
rm temp

But there must be an easier way. I really need to get the number of files
quite often. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Roy
