Command to find file size?

[arobart]

Is there a command I can use to find files larger than a certain size?

Example: I am in the zoom directory and I want to list any files in zoom that are larger than >1GB

Any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

Try the find command:

find ./ -size +1024 -ls

Good luck,
Debi

None that I know of. You could..

ls -1qs|sort -nr|more

and look for files > 1048576.

Actually, the format of the find would be...

find ./ -size +1048576 -ls

I learned something today too - the "+" option of size.

This is sort of related.

You can get a listing of all the files in a directory sorted by size increasing like this:

ls -l | sort -n +4

I find this helpful to know which files are the biggest in a directory. The largest files will be the last to display.

Hope this helps, Einstein47
