How to get find to print file size with file name?

Question

If I issue the find command as follows:

$ find . -name *.ear 

He prints:

 ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear 

What I want to "print" on the command line is the name and size:

 ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 5000 KB ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5400 KB ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear 5400 KB 

Answer 1

 find . -name '*.ear' -exec ls -lh {} \; 

just h extra from jer.drab.org answer. saves time turning into MB mentally;)

Answer 2

You need to use -exec or -printf. Printf works as follows:

 find . -name *.ear -printf "%p %k KB\n" 

-exec is more powerful and allows you to execute arbitrary commands, so you can use the version of "ls" or "wc" to print the file name along with other information. "man find" will show you the available printf arguments, which can do much more than just file size.

[edit] -printf is not in the official POSIX standard, so check to see if it is supported in your version. However, most modern systems will use GNU find or a similar extended version, so there is a chance that it will be implemented.

Answer 3

a simple solution is to use the -ls option in find:

 find . -name \*.ear -ls 

This gives you each entry in the usual ls -l format. Or, to get the specific result that you seem to be looking for is:

 find . -name \*.ear -printf "%p\t%k KB\n" 

Which will give you the file name followed by the size in KB.

Answer 4

Using gnu find, I think this is what you want. It finds all real files, not directories (-type f), and for each it prints the file name (% p), tab (\ t), size in kilobytes (% k), suffix "KB", and then newline (\ n).

 find . -type f -printf '%p\t%k KB\n' 

If the printf command does not format things the way you want, you can use exec, and then the command you want to execute for each file. Use {} for the file name and end the command with a semicolon (;). In most shells, all three of these characters must be escaped with a backslash.

Here's a simple solution that finds and prints them using "ls -lh", which will show you the size in readable form (k for kilobytes, M for megabytes):

 find . -type f -exec ls -lh \{\} \; 

As another alternative, "wc -c" will print the number of characters (bytes) in the file:

 find . -type f -exec wc -c \{\} \; 

Answer 5

 find . -name '*.ear' -exec du -h {} \; 

This gives you only the file size and not all unnecessary things.

Answer 6

Awk can correct the exit to give what the questioner asked. On my Solaris 10 system, find -s prints the size in KB as the second field, therefore:

 % find . -name '*.ear' -ls | awk '{print $2, $11}' 5400 ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5400 ./dir1/dir2/earFile3.ear 5400 ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 

Otherwise, use -exec ls -lh and select the size field from the output. Again on Solaris 10:

 % find . -name '*.ear' -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{print $5, $9}' 5.3M ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5.3M ./dir1/dir2/earFile3.ear 5.3M ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 

Answer 7

I struggled with this on Mac OS X, where the find command does not support -printf .

The solution I found that admittedly relies on a “group” for all the files being “staff” was ...

 ls -l -R | sed 's/\(.*\)staff *\([0-9]*\)..............\(.*\)/\2 \3/' 

This divides the long ls output into three markers

• material before the text "Personnel"
• file size
• file name

And then it gives out tokens 2 and 3, that is, the output is the number of bytes, and then the file name

Answer 8

Why not use du -a ? For example.

 find . -name "*.ear" -exec du -a {} \; 

Works on mac

Answer 9

 $ find.  -name "test *" -exec du -sh {} \;
 4.0K ./test1
 0 ./test2
 0 ./test3
 0 ./test4
 $

Answer 10

This should provide you with what you are looking for, including formatting (e.g. file name first and size):

 find . -type f -iname "*.ear" -exec du -ah {} \; | awk '{print $2"\t", $1}' 

sample output (where I used -iname "*.php" to get some result):

 ./plugins/bat/class.bat.inc.php 20K ./plugins/quotas/class.quotas.inc.php 8.0K ./plugins/dmraid/class.dmraid.inc.php 8.0K ./plugins/updatenotifier/class.updatenotifier.inc.php 4.0K ./index.php 4.0K ./config.php 12K ./includes/mb/class.hwsensors.inc.php 8.0K 

Answer 11

Try the following commands:

GNU stat :

 find . -type f -name *.ear -exec stat -c "%n %s" {} ';' 

BSD stat :

 find . -type f -name *.ear -exec stat -f "%N %z" {} ';' 

however, stat not standard, so du or wc might be a better approach:

 find . -type f -name *.ear -exec sh -c 'echo "{} $(wc -c < {})"' ';' 

Answer 12

 find . -name "*.ear" -exec ls -l {} \; 

Answer 13

You can try the following:

 find. -name *.ear -exec du {} \; 

This will give you the size in bytes. But du also accepts -k for KB and -m for MB. This will give you a result like

 5000 ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 5400 ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5400 ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear 

Answer 14

 find . -name "*.ear" | xargs ls -sh
