Try This:
Code:
sunt2000/user777$ cat /tmp/check.sh
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Directory to Check Sizes: \c" ; read var
if [ -d "${var}" ] ; then
        echo "Directory exists: ${var}"
        echo "The size of the folders are:"
        du -hs ${var} ${var}/*
else
        echo "Directory not found: ${var}"
fi

The output looks like this:
Code:
sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
Directory to Check Sizes: /expoprt/home
Directory not found: /expoprt/home

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
Directory to Check Sizes: /export/home
Directory exists: /export/home
The size of the folders are:
  43G   /export/home
   2K   /export/home/user1
   2K   /export/home/user2
   2K   /export/home/user3
  14K   /export/home/user4
   2K   /export/home/user5
...

I am sorry, I don't quite understand what you are looking for.

Let's take this directory example where there is a certain file (test.out) in a certain directory (/tmp) and in a certain subdirectory (subdir):
Code:
/tmp
/tmp/check.sh
/tmp/subdir/test.out
/tmp/(various other files)

sunt2000/user777$ cat /tmp/check.sh
   4416049 drwxrwxrwt   5 root     sys         3615 Feb  3 18:52 /tmp
  85437260 -rwxrwxrwx   1 root     root         326 Feb  3 18:44 /tmp/check.sh
 104549276 drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         182 Feb  3 18:50 /tmp/subdir
  88062983 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root        3522 Feb  3 18:50 /tmp/subdir/test.out

Is this what you mean?
Code:
sunt2000/user777$ cat /tmp/check.sh
#!/bin/ksh
echo "Directory or File to Check Size: \c" ; read var
if [ -d "${var}" ] ; then
        echo "Directory exists: ${var}"
        echo "The size is:"
        du -hs ${var}
elif [  -f "${var}" ] ; then
        echo "File exists: ${var}"
        echo "The size is:"
        du -hs ${var}
else
        echo "Directory or File not found: ${var}"
fi

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
Directory to Check Sizes: /expoprt/home
Directory of File not found: /expoprt/home

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
Directory or File to Check Size: /tmp
Directory exists: /tmp
The size is:
 180M   /tmp

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
 File exists: /tmp/check.sh
The size is:
   8K   /tmp/check.sh

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
 Directory or File to Check Size: /tmp/subdir
Directory exists: /tmp/subdir
The size is:
  16K   /tmp/subdir

sunt2000/user777$ /tmp/check.sh   
 Directory or File to Check Size: /tmp/subdir/test.out
File exists: /tmp/subdir/test.out
The size is:
   8K   /tmp/subdir/test.out

If this is not what you are looking for, can you provide an example directory structure and identify the file you are looking to get a size of?
