How to print a directory list to a file?
I have directory of files listed with stats.
I need to print only files with the same stats to a file.

I tried this, and it printed a blank document.


*1556 > tmp/list

it did not work

any suggestions?

Rocinante,
More details are needed -- based on your short description,
is this what you want:
Code:
ls -1 *1556 > /tmp/list

What do you refer when you mean " same stats "

Is it the file size ?

Filename pattern ?

Number of disk blocks allocated ?
