Hello!
I'm trying to find out the total file size of a subset list in a directory. For example, I do not need to know the total file size of all the files in a directory, but I need to know what the total size is of say, "ls -l *FEB08*" in a directory. Is there any easy way of doing this?

Hello,
I have a flat file with a list of files with the path to the file and I am attempting to calculate the filesize for each one; however xargs isn't playing nicely and I am sure there is probably a better way of doing this.
What I envisioned is this:
cat filename|xargs -i ls -l {} |awk... (4 Replies)

10. HP-UX
I used to use ls -l cut to detrmine file size, and google searches didn't come up with anything else but 'stat' which doesn't appear on HPUX.
I discovered the humble 'wc -c' which does this job very neatly, and thought I would share it. (7 Replies)

LS(1) General Commands Manual LS(1)
NAME
ls, lc - list contents of directory
SYNOPSIS
ls [ -dlnpqrstuF ] name ...
lc [ -dlnqrstuF ] name ...
DESCRIPTION
For each directory argument, ls lists the contents of the directory; for each file argument, ls repeats its name and any other information
requested. When no argument is given, the current directory is listed. By default, the output is sorted alphabetically by name.
Lc is the same as ls, but sets the -p option and pipes the output through mc(1).
There are a number of options:
-d If argument is a directory, list it, not its contents.
-l List in long format, giving mode (see below), file system type (e.g., for devices, the # code letter that names it; see Intro(4)),
the instance or subdevice number, owner, group, size in bytes, and time of last modification for each file.
-n Don't sort the listing.
-p Print only the final path element of each file name.
-q List the qid (see stat(2)) of each file.
-r Reverse the order of sort.
-s Give size in Kbytes for each entry.
-t Sort by time modified (latest first) instead of by name.
-u Under -t sort by time of last access; under -l print time of last access.
-F Add the character / after all directory names and the character * after all executable files.
The mode printed under the -l option contains 11 characters, interpreted as follows: the first character is
d if the entry is a directory;
a if the entry is an append-only file;
- if the entry is a plain file.
The next letter is l if the file is exclusive access (one writer or reader at a time).
The last 9 characters are interpreted as three sets of three bits each. The first set refers to owner permissions; the next to permissions
to others in the same user-group; and the last to all others. Within each set the three characters indicate permission respectively to
read, to write, or to execute the file as a program. For a directory, `execute' permission is interpreted to mean permission to search the
directory for a specified file. The permissions are indicated as follows:
r if the file is readable;
w if the file is writable;
x if the file is executable;
- if none of the above permissions is granted.
