Unix Command "ls"

[Landen]

Hi,

I was wondering if the ls command can list all files in a current directory with file size that is greater than some number and less than some number? If so, how will this be done? If not, are there any other commands that will do this function? or maybe a small script?

Perhaps, some clever individual could answer this question?

arrivederci...

Hi Landen:

If you want to use 'ls' and limit the results returned by filesize, consider this method:

# ls -l /tmp|awk '$5 > 1000 && $5 < 3000 {print $0}'

...this will return all files in the /tmp directory whose size is greater than 1000 and less than 3000.

Regards!

Hi,
I can only think of using the cmd find with size option with -a (logical AND operator)...
So man find...

All the best

Hi Landen


do

ls -l | awk ' { if ($5 > "aaa" && $5 < "BBB" ) print $NF,$5 }' > /tmp/test.

will give you what you need from the present working directory , incase you want to search everythin under that directory

replace ls -l with ls -lR .

Hi

This command will find in /tmp files greater than 1000000 bytes - modify size and dir to suit.

find /tmp -size +1000000c -exec ls -l {} \;

If you just want a listing of files in the current directory that are between 10000 bytes and 20000 bytes, simply:
find . -size +10000c -size -20000c -print
