Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Get original file size of zipped file Post 302592582 by in2nix4life on Tuesday 24th of January 2012 10:03:37 AM

If you use the -l switch, it lists the files and both their compressed and uncompressed sizes:

Code:
gzip -l file.txt.gz 
compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
      81                      68          20.6%      file.txt

Hope this helps.
