Listmates, I must be having one of my moments... As a result of some encoding where I kept the intermediate .wav files, I now have .wav file spread out over multiple directories. I simply want to get a total on how much disk space they are taking. I don't want to delete them, I just want to know whether I'm talking about 1 gig or 201 gigs. I have looked at ls -R, du, and nothing jumps out at being able to do this. What I want to do is something like: du -hcs ~/music/*.wav But obviously that doesn't work because du doesn't handle the filespec part. Does anybody know what I'm looking for? I guess I'll just stick it in find and do something like | xargs -0 (( +=filesize )). But if you know of the silver bullet, please post it. Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
