Awker Expert, Help Pls!!!

[hendnov]

Hi guys,

I've been strugling doing this using awk scripting, here's I have parent directory and certain number of subdirectories, and I want to see the disk usage of SGML directory which is in each subdirectory, and the problem is we don't know which level further down from subdirectory, but what I'm sure is each subdirectory has one SGML directory and I want to sum all disk usage SGML directory in parent directory. How do I do that?

THX GUYS,

yeah, but how do I program it in awk and how if i want to ignore case? and last one, after I program it in awk, how do I make that awk file is executable or I can call it from any directory, because I already put my awkfile in bin directory but I have to call from that directory.

THX

Finding the directories and their sizes should be easy outside of "awk". Maybe one of the awk experts can help with the sumation work?

This will create a temp file with sub-directories named SGML (case insensitive):

BASEDIR=/wherever/you/choose
cd $BASEDIR
find . -type d -print |grep -i sgml |xargs du -ks >sgml.sums
