macOS Trash Items and Size AppleScript?

I'm trying to make a simple script that tells me the number of items in the Trash and also the Size in MB. Here's a line of code I found online that creates a dialog with the Trash size but, I don't know how to make it display the number of items too.

display dialog (do shell script "du -h ~/.Trash | tail -rn1 | awk '{print \"Size of Trash is \" $1}'")

This script works good but, does anyone care to show me how to add the number of items in the Trash too?

You need to add:

Code:

set number_of_items to (count (every item of the trash))

For example...

Code:

tell application "Finder"
	set trash_size to (do shell script "du -h ~/.Trash | tail -rn1 | awk '{print \"The size of the Trash is \" $1}'")
	set number_of_items to (count (every item of the trash))
	activate
	display dialog trash_size & return & "The number of items is " & number_of_items & "." with icon stop buttons {"Empty Trash", "OK"} default button 2
	if the button returned of the result is "Empty Trash" then
		tell application "Finder"
			empty trash
		end tell
	end if
end tell

THANKS SO MUCH DUDE! Is it okay if I use this code and modify it to my needs. You rock!

Here's what I ended up doing to the script:


Thanks again.
