How do I get the find command to print out the fil

Question

If I issue the find command as follows:

$ find . -name *.ear

It prints out:

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

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

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

Answer 1

This should get you what you're looking for, formatting included (i.e. file name first and size afterward):

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

You need to use -exec or -printf. Printf works like this:

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

-exec is more powerful and lets you execute arbitrary commands - so you could use a version of 'ls' or 'wc' to print out the filename along with other information. 'man find' will show you the available arguments to printf, which can do a lot more than just filesize.

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

Awk can fix up the output to give just what the questioner asked for. On my Solaris 10 system, find -ls prints size in KB as the second field, so:

% 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 pick out 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 4

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 isn't standard, so du or wc could be a better approach:

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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

find . -name \*.ear -ls

That gives you each entry in the normal "ls -l" format. Or, to get the specific output you seem to be looking for, this:

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

Which will give you the filename followed by the size in KB.
