How to use ls, grep, and wc to produce a list of all ﬁles in the /usr/bin directory that are at least 10,000,000 bytes in size?

Question

I'm wondering what command that I need to use on PuTTY to get this result.

That can be done directly with find:

find /usr/bin -type f -size +9999999c

+ matches files larger than the given size. - is less than.

The c unit is for bytes. You can also use k for kilobytes, M for megabytes, and G for gigabytes.

Is there any way that I would be able to get this by using ls, grep and wc? – avaaaaalyn Feb 10 '19 at 03:27
It is possible though, because those are the instructions for one of my assignments. – avaaaaalyn Feb 10 '19 at 03:51

I dont know about wc and grep but you can create script that will help using below command.

ls -lh /usr/bin | awk '{print $5,$9}'

it will post your output like this: 1.4K anaconda-ks.cfg 17M book1 39M Book2 52 Book3 26M Book4

After that you can script that will help you to filter out [Statement] size with filename.
