Of course it is; that's why they suggested filtering the output with awk or other tools. Smilie You'll have fun exploring just how much these things can do for you, I'm sure. A small illustration:

Code:
$ du -hs ./* # Sizes of all files or folders in our CD-backup folder
269M    ./03-part
2.1G    ./P4_class_disc_image_Jan_05.iso
1.7G    ./accounting
2.1G    ./adobe
0       ./editor
4.5G    ./educational
277M    ./efiche-.....iso
1.1G    ./games
1.7M    ./zzz-backup.iso
785M    ./jamaica-tape
1.2G    ./map
530M    ./music-cd.iso
6.7G    ./office
3.5G    ./osx
6.4G    ./utility
2.4G    ./w7
19G     ./windows

# All sizes over 5 gigabytes
$ du -hs ./* | awk '/G/ { sub(/G/, "", $1); if($1 > 5) { $1=$1 "G"; print } }'
6.7G ./office
6.4G ./utility
19G ./windows

$

It would have actually been easier to do that without human-readable output. I had to match all sizes with G in them, strip the G off, compare the size, put the G back and print the lines I wanted. If it was in 1K blocks, I could have done it with ... | awk '$1 > 5000000' and that'd be it. Awk is designed to deal with tabular data.

Machine-readable output is fun. Smilie
