Sorry, use the long listing option with the human readable option (-lh) and that will show the file sizes.

Do you mean something like "ls -lh | grep <filename>"?

[vinay kumar]

I know that ls -lh will work.But For example.....say a large number in bytes 12345678 is there .How would I convert this number into nearest MB,GB,KB .

Suppose the number is 1024..so my output would be  1MB

10240 --------10MB

How to do it by any command or the function in linux..

need help ...
