[SOLVED] filtering based on columns

AlbertJJ · 11-13-2010, 01:45 AM

Is there any way to filter the output of a command based on the values on the output columns. For example i execute du -h on directory with many files. Now I want to filter the output based on the size (i.e. M or G or K ). The filtered o/p should contain only M(megabytes) or G(gigabytes) and also all columns.

20K ./fload/temp/20000101/Pam
15K ./fload/temp/20000101/NAVEX
29K ./fload/temp/20000101/Avenge
64K ./fload/temp/20000101
20K ./fload/temp/20000229/Pam
15K ./fload/temp/20000229/NAVEX
29K ./fload/temp/20000229/Avenge
64K ./fload/temp/20000229

Hi,

Is this what you are looking for?

du -h | grep "^.*[MG][[:space:]]\./"

Hope this helps.
