Question

How can I find files larger than or small than or same size as another file X using the find(1) command, without awk(1)?

Answer 1

Assuming that you’re doing this on linux:

Same size as another file:

$ find . -size `stat --printf '%s' $other_file`c

Larger than another file:

$ find . -size +`stat --printf '%s' $other_file`c

Smaller:

$ find . -size -`stat --printf '%s' $other_file`c
