how to: List all files more than 1mb?
 

Hi ya all

I need to list all of the files in my home directory that are bigger than 1mb.

my best guess is

ls -sh | grep.......

Any help would be great
ta

i need it to recursivly search through sub dirs

Or, if you want the size listed:
I hope that I don't scare any newbies away from Linux with this ugly syntax. :)

you are better off using "find"
the man page will help

man find

thanks
but when i run either of those commands i get

find: invalid -size type `M'

You have old version of the findutils package. Either upgrade it (newest is 4.2.20) or specify the size in kilobytes (+1024k).

Thank you that works a treat.

I run up2date would that not keep findutils up to date (no pun intended)
