I have modified it a bit and tried it in my system and it worked . Try it and let me know.

Code:
for dirname in `du /DirectoryPath/ | awk '{ print $NF }' `;
do
echo  $dirname
ls -l $dirname/*.dta | awk '{print $5}' |awk '{c+=$1} END {printf "%s \n", c}'
done

final code is:

Code:
for dirname in `du /DirectoryPath/ | awk '{ print $NF }' `;
do
echo -n $dirname
ls -l $dirname/*.dta 2>/dev/null | awk '{c+=$5} END {printf " %20.0f \n", c}';
done

I used ls instead of find because find was also adding sizef of the files in subdirectories.

Now I am trying to put it in shell script and trying to get the output to a text file.

Any suggestions?

As I am throwing these to excel, I decided to put the size in the beginning so I seperate columns with "/". Therefore the change of number of columns in each line does not cause any problems with the size. The code is now like that:


Code:
for dirname in `du /dIRECTORYpATH/ | awk '{ print $NF }' `;
do
ls -l $dirname/*.dta 2>/dev/null | awk '{c+=$5} END {printf "%20.0f", c}' | tee -a /users/cergun/dta_files.txt
echo $dirname | tee -a /users/cergun/dta_files.txt
done
