How do I get the find command to print out the file size with the file name?
UnixCommand LineFindSolarisUnix Problem Overview
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
I want to 'print' the name and the size to the command line:
./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear 5000 KB
./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear 5400 KB
./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear 5400 KB
Unix Solutions
Solution 1 - Unix
find . -name '*.ear' -exec ls -lh {} \;
just the h extra from jer.drab.org's reply. saves time converting to MB mentally ;)
Solution 2 - Unix
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.
Solution 3 - Unix
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.
Solution 4 - Unix
Using GNU find, I think this is what you want. It finds all real files and not directories (-type f), and for each one prints the filename (%p), a tab (\t), the size in kilobytes (%k), the suffix " KB", and then a newline (\n).
find . -type f -printf '%p\t%k KB\n'
If the printf command doesn't format things the way you want, you can use exec, followed by the command you want to execute on each file. Use {} for the filename, and terminate the command with a semicolon (;). On most shells, all three of those characters should be escaped with a backslash.
Here's a simple solution that finds and prints them out using "ls -lh", which will show you the size in human-readable form (k for kilobytes and M for megabytes):
find . -type f -exec ls -lh \{\} \;
As yet another alternative, "wc -c" will print the number of characters (bytes) in the file:
find . -type f -exec wc -c \{\} \;
Solution 5 - Unix
find . -name '*.ear' -exec du -h {} \;
This gives you the filesize only, instead of all the unnecessary stuff.
Solution 6 - Unix
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
Solution 7 - Unix
Why not use du -a ? E.g.
find . -name "*.ear" -exec du -a {} \;
Works on a Mac
Solution 8 - Unix
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 < {})"' ';'
Solution 9 - Unix
I struggled with this on Mac OS X where the find command doesn't support -printf
.
A solution that I found, that admittedly relies on the 'group' for all files being 'staff' was...
ls -l -R | sed 's/\(.*\)staff *\([0-9]*\)..............\(.*\)/\2 \3/'
This splits the ls long output into three tokens
- the stuff before the text 'staff'
- the file size
- the file name
And then outputs tokens 2 and 3, i.e. output is number of bytes and then filename

Solution 10 - Unix
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
Solution 11 - Unix
Just list the files (-type f
) that match the pattern (-name '*.ear
) using the disk-usage command (du -h
) and sort the files by the human-readable file size (sort -h
):
find . -type f -name '*.ear' -exec du -h {} \; | sort -h
Output
5.0k ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear
5.4k ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear
5.4k ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear
Solution 12 - Unix
You could try this:
find. -name *.ear -exec du {} \;
This will give you the size in bytes. But the du command also accepts the parameters -k for KB and -m for MB. It will give you an output like
5000 ./dir1/dir2/earFile1.ear
5400 ./dir1/dir2/earFile2.ear
5400 ./dir1/dir3/earFile1.ear
Solution 13 - Unix
find . -name "*.ear" | xargs ls -sh
Solution 14 - Unix
$ find . -name "test*" -exec du -sh {} ; 4.0K ./test1 0 ./test2 0 ./test3 0 ./test4 $
Solution 15 - Unix
find . -name "*.ear" -exec ls -l {} \;
Solution 16 - Unix
If you need to get total size, here is a script proposal
#!/bin/bash
totalSize=0
allSizes=`find . -type f -name *.ear -exec stat -c "%s" {} \;`
for fileSize in $allSizes; do
totalSize=`echo "$(($totalSize+$fileSize))"`
done
echo "Total size is $totalSize bytes"
Solution 17 - Unix
You could try for loop:
for i in `find . -iname "*.ear"`; do ls -lh $i; done
