checkingthe size of all the .txt , .ext files in all directories ..
hai,

i am new to unix scripting & learning unix scripting and doing some assignments....

i have an assignment as follows,

i want to check the size of the text file and .ext files in all directories,
if any one of them is greater than 100mb , i have to display those files..


example:
1.if input from user is /root directory to check for all .txt,.ext files
size, then the script must check all the text file, .ext file size and display them if it is greater than 100mb
2. if the input is /root/kamal/text_assign.txt, then the script should check the directory /root/kamal directory to check the size of text_assign .txt, if it exceeds the size 100mb it should display the file name..
