 Unix Tip #4397- March 26, 2025
 
FILES TOO LARGE FOR FLOPPY  
  
Ever want to find the files  
that won't fit on a floppy  
when you need to do a  
doswrite to export something?  
This will do it:  
  
find . -size +1440k -exec ls -ld {}\;  
  
Note: This will list the files  
in the directory where you are,  
that exceed the maximum size  
in kilobytes for a high-density  
DOS format floppy. Please don't  
forget the single dot after  
"find" and you can change the  
1440k to whatever you want.  
(I once had a need to find  
stuff that was 3 megabytes and  
over to keep out of a directory  
so I used +3000k in place of the  
+1440k above.)
