Unix ramdom question.

How do you display a list of files in your current directory, sorted by file size with the largest files at the top.

Expert Solution

You can simply do

ls -lS <folder_name> | grep -v '^d'

to list all the files in decreasing order of size

-lS, S tells to sort in descending order
Example:

ls -lS ./ | grep -v '^d'

total 45237

In Java, when you pass the symbol * from the command line, it refers to all files in the directory (see Supplement III.V). Use the following command to...
