RE: qsh find command -size +20M

Sounds like a problem I had. I >believe< that the shell is breaking the line
based on the value of the environment variable IFS. Typically, the variable is
set for a tab, a space, and a new line. Try wrapping it in double quotes. And,
if that does not work, change the IFS variable, like this:

IFSSAVE=$IFS
IFS=

(do stuff)
IFS=$IFSSAVE

What I tried to do, above, was set IFS to a tab and a newline. Looks odd in an
email. Then, the saved IFS value is restored for other uses in the shell.

Quoting rob@xxxxxxxxx:

Ok, so we got the beginning of this
/FTP/GDI/EQUIPMENTVENDORS/FROMGDI/GermanyAssyLine/IRT - Walldurn.avi
being truncated to
./GDI/EQUIPMENTVENDORS/FROMGDI/GermanyAssyLine/IRT
figured out. We now still have two problems.

1 - Why did the end get truncated? Is ls or awk not handling spaces and
whatnot in the file name? If so, what's the workaround?

2 - Why did the dates get formatted sporadically?

The . After find means "start at the current directory" - is /FTP your
current directory? (Type PWD to find your current directory.) If you
want everything, replace the . with / or specify another location (like
`find /FTP`)

Well I pretty much got this to work now
find . -type f -size +20M -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $9 "," $5 ","
$6"/"$7"/"$8 }' > /rob/bigfiles2.csv

Had to use binary to ftp that down. Ascii looked like gibberish
(CCSID=37).

Seems like the first column, which is the directory and the file name, is
functioning as a "midstring". IOW I may be missing stuff off of the front
and the back. For example, this file
/FTP/GDI/EQUIPMENTVENDORS/FROMGDI/GermanyAssyLine/IRT - Walldurn.avi
appears as ./GDI/EQUIPMENTVENDORS/FROMGDI/GermanyAssyLine/IRT

The other issue is the sporadic formatting of the dates:
