Hmmm, well it depends how smart you need it to be. You could try something like:-

Code:

#!bin/ksh

((limit_tiny=1024*64))                                         # 64Kb
((limit_small=1024*1024))                                      # 1Mb
((limit_medium=1024*1024*32))                                  # 32Mb
((limit_large=1024*1024*1024))                                 # 1Gb
((limit_huge=1024*1024*1024*10))                               # 10Gb
((limit_massive=1024*1024*1024*1024))                          # 1Tb

ls -l $source_dir | while read perms links owner group bytes dd mon yot file
do
   target_dir=tiny                                             # Set a default
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_tiny ]    &&  target_dir=small
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_small ]   &&  target_dir=medium
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_medium ]  &&  target_dir=large
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_large ]   &&  target_dir=huge
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_huge ]    &&  target_dir=massive
   [ $bytes -gt $limit_massive ] &&  target_dir=gigantic

   cp -p $file $target_dir
done

You may well want to blend the two so you end up with subdirectories of each of these having a limited number of files, but that would be more fun to work out yourself, unless you get completely stuck.

Let me know if this is a suitable suggestion or if I have missed the point.

vdltodmx

vdltodmx(1)						      General Commands Manual						       vdltodmx(1)

NAME

       vdltodmx - dmx configuration file parser and printer

SYNOPSIS

       vdltodmx infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       vdltodmx  reads	the  input file, which should be in VDL configuration file format.  After a successful parse, a file in Xdmx configuration
       file format is written to the output file.

       The VDL file format is used with xmovie, which is available from http://www.llnl.gov/icc/lc/img/xmovie/xmovie.html

EXAMPLE

       Given the following VDL-format file:
	      0
	      2
	      #
	      #
	      2560 2048 Left two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
	      2
	      :2.1 1280 2048   0    0 0 0
	      :2.2 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
	      4
	      1280 1024 0      0
	      1280 1024 0      1024
	      1280 1024 1280   0
	      1280 1024 1280   1024
	      #
	      2560 2048 Right two-thirds [restrict=*:2]
	      2
	      :2.2 1280 2048   0   0 0 0
	      :2.3 1280 2048   1280 0 0 0
	      4
	      1280 1024 1280	0
	      1280 1024 1280	1024
	      1280 1024 2560 0
	      1280 1024 2560 1024
       the following DMX-format file will be produced:
	      #
	      #
	      virtual "Left two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
		  display :2.1 1280x2048;
		  display :2.2 1280x2048 @1280x0;
	      }
	      #
	      virtual "Right two-thirds" 2560x2048 {
		  display :2.2 1280x2048;
		  display :2.3 1280x2048 @1280x0;
	      }

BUGS

       If the VDL file is not in the expected format, the program will probably dump core.
