Hello experts,

I do -

$ ls -lhtr logs2007*

Is it possible that i can get the results of-

totals size in MB/KB for ALL "logs2007*"

note: in the same directory I have "logs2006*" & "logs2007*" files.

Code:

# du -sk 2007* | awk '{t+=$1} END{ print t}'

Use the search function next time.

there's a search function in this forum. Use that to search for what you want. counting file sizes has been posted and answered many times. :-)
