Hello everyone,

I have written a script that outputs the size of directories to a file. I now need to take the data and show only certain directories over a certain size. he layout of the file is this:

50 ./directory/
55 ./directory2/
60 ./directory3/

etc.

I was wondering if there is a way to do this using cat or anything like that.

Thanks everyone!

PS: The file is HUGE. The directory structure I searched is over 300,000 directories. This will eventually be imported into a database, but I would like to filter the raw data as much as possible first.

all depends what these sizes are... what IS "60" ??? assuming these are all reliably the same units and you're not suddenl;y going to have to deal with "10M" or something, i'd just say use awk, tis a doddle
i.e. print all lines who's first field is larger than 100 from the file "list"

Works great. Thank you! I have never played around with awk before, but this has most definitely piqued my interest.

Thank you again,

Brandon
