Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Problem piping find output to awk, 1st line filename is truncated, other lines are fine. Post 302846691 by gencon on Sunday 25th of August 2013 12:44:26 PM

Thanks Scrutinizer, that works.

I thought that anything before the awk {} was before the first line. Oops, so obvious once you know. Smilie

To anyone who's interested, this also works:
Code:
$ find . -type f -printf '%s**%p\n' | sort -nr | awk 'BEGIN {FS="**"} {printf("%d \t%s\n", $1, $2)}'
45     ./Test Dir 1/Test File 1
30     ./Test Dir 2/Test File 2
23     ./Test Dir 3/Test File 3
18     ./Test Dir 4/Test File 4

as does...

$ find . -type f -printf '%s**%p\n' | sort -nr | awk 'BEGIN {FS="[*][*]"} {printf("%d \t%s\n", $1, $2)}'
