help me to complete

if [ "$RESULTS_SIZE" -gt 32768 ]

Answer 1

Simply use the -size switch of find, with - prefix for size below N, + for size over N, and b,k,M,G suffixes for bites,kilobytes, Megabytes, or Gigabytes:

find . -maxdepth 1 -iregex "the_regex" -size +32M -printf "Viseo over 32 MB (size %s): %h/%f"

If you want it in bash you could do:

for current_file in *.mov *.mpeg *.wav *.mp4 *.avi *.mpg *.flv *.WMV *.AVI *.mkv
do
   if test "$(stat -c %s "$current_file")" -gt 32000000
   then
      echo file size over 32MB: "$current_file"
      mv "$current_file" "~/my_big/file_folder/"
   else
      mv "$current_file" "~/my_small/file_folder/"
   fi
done
