korn shell display lenght problem!!! i got stuck on this
Using the KSH, write a shell script called display_by_length, which takes an absolute pathname to a directory and displays all ordinary files in the directory ordered by their length; for each file listed, display the name of the file and its length - nothing else. Extend this script to take an option, -l, which if set has the program return all files longer than l, again for each file listed, display the name of the file and its length.

Notes: Again, be sure to include error checking, such as the pathname not corresponding to a directory.

this problem i got stuck anyone help me?
