Just to show it works basically:

Code:
root@isau02:/data/tmp/testfeld> ./mach.sh
Enter the minimum filesize to be displayed:
100000

149756  /data/ECC
233420  /data/info/aix
298364  /data/info
112232  /data/downloads/navicli
152660  /data/downloads
179096  /data/navi
1065052 /data

Done.

Maybe check the man page for "du" on your OS to find a switch that will work.

I havent been able to find the suitable version of du and zaxxon's code isnt giving me the result Smilie .


Also, using

awk -v var = ${filesize} just isnt working for integers even after typecasting. It only works for strings or alpha numerics I think.

Could somebody come up with a way to introduce an integer shell variable into awk?

Hi

I've tried to use a different approach by first sorting the list that du gives me. Is it now possible to use this sorted list to find all entries which are greater than a particular value??

My sorting goes like this

du -a <path given by user> -> stored in a file called testout

Code:
sort -nr testout -o testout

Since you have a different du, please just post the output you want to work with. People here can write lots of code, but if we don't see the output you use, it can always be different and not what you want.

This is the sample output.

Also my Unix version is SunOS 5.10

Should be something like:

Code:
echo 'Enter the min file size expected'
read filesize

du -ah | awk '$1 > s' s="$filesize"

I did try that but unfortunately the output still shows all the files present and does not perform the comparison.
