More than you asked for, but here's a command that reports total space occupied by all files with names ending in .jpg, recursively from the current directory (but not crossing mount points) and which is also a gratuitous example of the Process Substitution facility mentioned in a previous thread:
du -c -h --files0-from=<(find . -xdev -type f -name "*.jpg" -print0 2>/dev/null) | tail -1 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
