Thank you, dear Ghosh, this was good. Only the haste led to two minor mistakes, one 'k' where it should be 'K' and 'f9' where it should be f8'. Though, the 'size' field together with the 'name' field would be better. And one mention in 'echo' that the size is in KB. Pasting your script with the minor changes. ----------------------------------------------------- SIZE=$1 echo Listing files Greater than supplied size in KB sorted with the highest first for i in `ls -Slh | tr -s ' ' | tr ' ' '^' ` do x=`echo $i| tr '^' '\t' | cut -f5` y=`echo $x | grep M` if [ "$y" ] then echo $i | tr '^' '\t' | cut -f8 fi y=`echo $x | grep K` if [ "$y" ] then size=`echo $y | tr 'K' ' ' | tr '.' '\t'| cut -f1` #echo "size is $size and SIZE is $SIZE" if test $size -ge $SIZE then #echo "file is $i" echo $i | tr '^' '\t' | cut -f8 fi fi done -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an alternative, how about this, for all files > 500k in the home directory:
find ~ -size +500k -exec ls -l {} \; | sort -rn -k5(The \ is followed by a ; )
