Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to Compare file size and delete the smaller Post 302681641 by JC_1 on Friday 3rd of August 2012 05:51:31 PM

The file names are random. The extension is the same (that is probably windows talk - sorry). I want the script to look in each directory and delete the smaller of the two files.
e.g.,

directory 1

asdfsdfo72392874983.nii.gz
asdfju07r-3828poafljkao.nii.gz

directory n

asdfopiw4-8rtlkjkkfa.nii.gz
ukjfsaoi04t0ifaf';lk'lk.nii.gz
