Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Searching for file types by count in specific folder in RHEL 6 Post 303039667 by shackle101 on Friday 11th of October 2019 11:14:07 AM

Searching for file types by count in specific folder in RHEL 6

So I'm trying to search for the top 10 or 15 items under a directory by file type. I want to run a command on a directory and get something like the following:

Example of expected output.. .PDF: 100, .txt: 95, .word: 80..

What would be the best way of going about this? I've searched around and couldn't really find a specific method on exactly doing this.

Thanks,
Jermey Moore

NAME
ps2ascii - Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF to ASCII SYNOPSIS
ps2ascii [ input.ps [ output.txt ] ] ps2ascii input.pdf [ output.txt ] DESCRIPTION
ps2ascii uses gs(1) to extract ASCII text from PostScript(tm) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. If no files are specified on the command line, gs reads from standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not standard input. If no output file is specified, the ASCII text is written to standard output. ps2ascii doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't very good at dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might consider pstotext (see below). FILES
Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details. SEE ALSO
