As I'm a newbie to UNIX, very newbie in fact, could anyone humour me and tell me how I'd find just the file size in bytes for a specific file?
Or at least just the specific line from the ls -a for the file - call it file1
I know this sounds bad but I don't seem to be getting very far at this one. How does one normally go about this simple task (I want to use the file size in a calculation)
