I have a folder with 2000+ files. I want to count the files by date.

so with:

  Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name  
   ----                -------------     ------ ----  
   -a---        2010-03-15  12:54 AM   10364953 file1.txt  
   -a---        2010-03-15   1:07 AM   10650503 file2.txt  
   -a---        2010-03-16   1:20 AM   10118657 file3.txt  
   -a---        2010-03-16   1:33 AM    9735542 file4.txt  
   -a---        2010-03-18   1:46 AM   10666979 file5.txt

I'd like to see:

Date         Count
----------   ------
2010-03-15   2  
2010-03-16   2  
2010-03-18   1

Thanks!
