I was trying to write a couple of scripts that would do a couple of things:
Recursively list all file type in a given directory and gives me the total number of files for that file type and the total file sizes for each (i.e .doc = 300 and 450 MB, .xlsx = 543 and 516 MB, .mov = 67 and 5.4 GB, etc.)
A script that would recursively find all video files on my server (.mov, .mp4, .avi, etc.) in a given directory and displays their location/path and file size sorted by file size in descending order (largest to smallest)
How would I write this?
690
To find out file types we can use the file command. Using the -s option we can read the block or character special file. Using -F option will use string as separator instead of “:”. We can use the –extension option to print a slash-separated list of valid extensions for the file type found.
Getting file size using find command The syntax is as follows for the find command: find "/etc/passwd" -printf "%s" find "/etc/passwd" -printf "%s\n" fileName="/etc/hosts" mysize=$(find "$fileName" -printf "%s") printf "File %s size = %d\n" $fileName $mysize echo "${fileName} size is ${mysize} bytes."
As explained in this comment on that answer you link to, echo $0 simply shows you the name of the currently running process: $0 is the name of the running process. If you use it inside of a shell then it will return the name of the shell. If you use it inside of a script, it will be the name of the script.
Another method we can use to grab the size of a file in a bash script is the wc command. The wc command returns the number of words, size, and the size of a file in bytes.
1) This script takes a directory and extension (w/o the ".") as parameters and gives the total file size for all files in that directory and all sub-directories:
#!/bin/bash
DIR=$1
TYPE=$2
TOTAL=0
FILES=`find $DIR -type f -iname "*.$TYPE"`
for f in $FILES; do
if [ -f $f ]; then
SIZE=`stat -c "%s" "$f"`
TOTAL=$(($SIZE + $TOTAL))
fi
done
TOTALK=$(echo "scale=2; $TOTAL / 1024" | bc -l)
TOTALM=$(echo "scale=2; $TOTALK / 1024" | bc -l)
echo "Total file size for all \"$TYPE\" files: ${TOTAL}b / ${TOTALK}Kb / ${TOTALM}Mb"
Output:
[ 18:03 jon@hozbox ~/SO/bash ]$ ./linux-script-to-find-all-video-file-extensions-and-file-sizes.sh /home/jon/SO/python py
Total file size for all "py" files: 20062b / 19.59Kb / .01Mb
2) This one was fun to figure out. It has room for optimization, but it gets the job done. The only parameter needed is a directory:
#!/bin/bash
# fill with more extensions or have it as a cmd line arg
TYPES=( mov mp4 avi )
DIR=$1
# Create a regex of the extensions for the find command
TYPES_RE="\\("${TYPES[1]}
for t in "${TYPES[@]:1:${#TYPES[*]}}"; do
TYPES_RE="${TYPES_RE}\\|${t}"
done
TYPES_RE="${TYPES_RE}\\)"
# Set the field seperator to newline instead of space
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
# Generate output from path and size using: `stat -c "%s" filepath`
OUTPUT=""
for f in `find ${DIR} -type f -regex ".*\.${TYPES_RE}"`; do
SIZE=`stat -c "%s" ${f}`
SIZEK=`echo "scale=2; ${SIZE} / 1024" | bc -l`
SIZEM=`echo "scale=2; ${SIZEK} / 1024" | bc -l`
OUTPUT=`echo ${SIZE}b / ${SIZEK}Kb / ${SIZEM}Mb - ${f}`";"$OUTPUT
done
# Reset IFS
IFS=$SAVEIFS
# Reverse numeric sort the output and replace ; with \n for printing
echo $OUTPUT | tr ';' '\n' | sort -nr

Bash Scripting Guide is one of the best resources I know of for writing bash scripts.
man statman sortman findman bcman tr

Here is my take on the answer:
find folder -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file --media-type | egrep 'image|video' | cut -f1 -d : | tr '\n' '\0'
The above will locate all Videos and Images. If you refer to @Adam's example, you can then capture the output from this into a for loop to generate the information you are looking for. It's best to put all this into a script. I include the tr '\n' '\0' at the end so that you can pipe the output to xargs with the -0 argument to simplify chaining this with other commands. if you are going to use the for loop wrapper solution, then the tr is not necessary (though having it eliminates the need to deal with special characters and quoting in file name)
