Hello, I have a directory where a bunch of files live.. for example, the directory is named: /opt/2004.05.21 There are quite a few files in the directory that are created daily and on an ongoing basis. I am grepping (grep -c) for a certain word in a file. The filename ends with .0001 and is located in the /opt/2004.05.21 directory. This file is always pretty big.. and all the other files in the directory are less than 2000 bytes. Is there a way to only grep the file in this directory that is greater than 2000 bytes?? This grep will be embedded in a script and will give a value to a variable so if there are other commands besides grep that can accomplish this, that would help too. Thanks! Big Z

Forgot to mention that there may possibly be more than 1 file that has the .0001 extension. But only one that will be greater than 2000 bytes.

find /opt/2004.05.21 -size +2000c -exec grep -H pattern {} \;
