Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Sort by size, then list file in each directory Post 302330581 by ChatPerdu on Wednesday 1st of July 2009 05:10:36 PM

For:
Code:
find . -type d -size +2

I get this:
.
./99584B685FF3/bbb.app
./D3B9BA1F472/www.app
./830F3FF6E3F9/Documents
./A754A83053D/www.app
...
For some reason, it finds stuff one directory lower... "99584B685FF3" is the directory I am aiming for, so I tried
Code:
find . -type d -size +2 -maxdepth 1

I get:
. Smilie Shouln't it be something like ./99584B685FF3 Smilie

and for
Code:
find . -type d -size +2 -maxdepth 2

.
./99584B685FF3/bbb.app
./D3B9BA1F472/www.app
./830F3FF6E3F9/Documents
./A754A83053D/www.app
...

What could be the reason. I initially thought directories were just "special files" in UNIX and do not have a size. But the "Documents" shown is really a directory.

Thanks for suggesting but still no go. Furthermore, I am losing all the size sorting - largest directory first

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
