Re: qsh find command -size +20M

2009/6/2 <rob@xxxxxxxxx>:

I am having an issue with this:

find . -type f -size +20M -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $9 "," $5 ","

$6"/"$7"/"$8 }' > /rob/bigfiles2.csv
 find: 001-2190 The trailing character +20M for option -size is not
valid.
 $

Searching a few man pages doesn't show it as wrong.
Is this one of those obscure things where the problem isn't with the +20M
but it's really with something way after that?

The find in QShell doesn't support many of the various size suffixes
you find in GNU find. From IBM's QShell manual[1]:

-size n[c]
True if the file’s size, rounded up, in 512-byte blocks is n.
If n is followed by c, then the primary
is true if the file’s size is n bytes.

which equate to the GNU 'b' & 'c' suffixes. I installed the GNU
findutils package[2] in PASE to get round this issue.
