Why Didn't it work?

c:\php>dir /aa /b | php -B '$l=0;$i=1;' -R '$l+=count(@file($argv[$i++]));' -E 'echo "files: $l\n";'

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in Command line begin code on
line 1

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''echo' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE) in Com
mand line end code on line 1

Test script:

Works fine for me on Linux:

> ls | php53 -B '$l=0;$i=1;' -R '$l+=count(@file($argv[$i++]));' -E 'echo "files: 
$l\n";'
files: 449

Weird Windows thing?

On windows shell you cannet use single quotes to wrap strings, use double quotes for that

dir /aa /b | Debug_TS\php.exe -B "$l=0;$i=1;" -R "$l+=count(@file($argv[$i++]));" -E "echo 'files: ' . $l;"

That's the basic windows cmd behaviour.
