May I politely suggest that you prepare your question before posting and that you confine your prepared and concise questions to one post.
Don't forget to mention what Operating System and version you have and what Shell you are using.

Anyway. It sounds like homework or coursework to me.

Hi methyl,

I agree that my question should have been clear.
Here what i am trying to do.
To find the space occupied by files modified more than 4 years ago, i wrote following.I am wondering if it is right ?

Code:
 
find $file -type d ! -name ".*" -mtime +1460 | wc -l |du -sh

OS:RHEL5
Shell:bash

Thanks in advance!
