I am a newbie to BASH so please dont mind my stupid questions because I am not able to get any good sources to learn that.
I want to create a script to display filename and its size. This is what the code is like
filename=$1
if [ -f $filename ]; then
filesize=`du -b $1`
echo "The name of file is $1"
echo "Its size is $filesize"
else
echo "The file specified doesnot exists"
fi
The output is like this
$ ./filesize.sh aa
The name of file is aa
Its size is 88 aa
But in the last line I dont want to show the name of the file. How do I do that ? I want to do the same thing using wc as well.
