Today I got curious about the file sizes beneath a directory. In particular I wanted to see the totals by file extension. I did a quick search but came up with nothing. I decided that even if there is something out there to do the job, it'd be a lot more fun to do it myself. Tada: ls -Rl | grep ^- | awk '{ split($9,e,"."); exts[e[length(e)==1?2:length(e)]]+=$5 } END { for (ext in exts) printf "%10d %sn", exts[ext], ext }' | sort [...] [...] Every so often I have a brief love affair with awk.

As Eric will attest to, I had a brief romance with Awk a few years ago. I might still have my old Sed/Awk book if you want it.

It's enough to give knowledgeable Windows users serious shell envy. Luckily most of them (us?) toil in ignorance. I definitely think sed is ultra sweet (as is grep, uniq, wc, etc).

Same difference. Simple little command line tools can do so much... Yeah, you could pipe it to 'grep -v root' as well. Same difference. Simple little command line tools can do so much…
