@@docs()

Count the number of files
For indexes with scanned documents, it is possible to simply count the number of metadata files in the Index Data location. This can be done in Windows Explorer.

• For XML Wrapper indexes, count the number of XML files in the "ZyLAB Data\Index Data\<INDEX_NAME>\XmlFields" folder and its subfolders.
• For TXT/Tiff indexes, count the number of TXT files in the "ZyLAB Data\Index Data\<INDEX_NAME>\Txt" folder and its subfolders.
