Hello, I'm sure everybody loves these kind of questions, but I really appreciate the help. I have a filesystem which is being used by MS workstations. People are storing mp3's, jpgs and other 'non work related files' on here and the management asked me to find all the files and how much space they are using. I created a locate database of the filesystem so I can search that, but the problem is it doesn't show the file sizes. I tried to pipe the output to xargs, but that didn't work either. The file names and paths are pretty long and there's lots of file with single quotes and spaces that xargs does not like I guess. ex: /home/users/CRANESP1/Backup from 7-19-04/My Document's Backup 10-01-02/e-mails to save/eyetest_1.wmv Does anybody have anything that would work in this case? I need to do this for about 40k files. Thanks -- Chris Sechiatano chris@chris-s.com PGP Key 0x0021EFA0
