This script has serious issues. If you are looking for files > 20000 bytes (an example)
do this:

Code:
lim=20000
ls -ls | sort -rn | 
  awk -v lim=$lim ' $6>= lim { print $ 0; next}  {exit} '  > /path/to/outputfile

This puts the files in order from big -> small, and reads until the filesize $6 is less than the variable lim.
