Struggling with ls command
 
Hi folks, I need some help with the ls command...(sorry for the silly rookie question)

I need to search in "/" and all subdirectories, all files greather than 30 MB...

Thanks in advise!

You should use the "find" command for this. For example:

Code:
find / -size +30M

For that, the find command is probably better:

Code:
find / -size +30M

The 'ls' command only lists files, it does not filter them.
You could probably do it with grep/sed/awk but its better to just use find.
@mattca,evo2: LOL Same thing @ the same minute.
