Hi, all

I'm writing some auto backup/refresh script, do you know any command that returns only size or extenstion or a file? (there will be only one file in the directory)

I know awk can return only a part of the output, but somehow I cann't combine awk and ls -l successfully. ls -s returns some size I don't want, I'd like to have size as shown in ls -l.

For the refresh script, I like to check file extension, so if it's in gz, I'll gunzip; if it's Z, I'll uncompress.

Thanks!

Andrea
