hi
i just want to know that how do we use xargs command to find files which are greater than specified memory
in a given directory

Hi.

It's not a function of xargs to do this.

It sounds like a job for find.

pretty confused by what you mean by memory ?! It can be size but ?!

ok, if it is something like, too many arguments -- and memory.. these examples might help you: Hack 22. Xargs Command Examples

For example i want to find size that has more larger 10 mb
