Some help,pls?
Create a shellscript which will receive as parameters a dir name and a file name.The shell will recursively look for the file in the dir and it will determine if the file given as a parameter is found in the dir.(even if the file exists in a subdir)or not,and if it finds the file the shell will say the dimension of the file. :sigh:

Such task is some pain and suffering, not real knowledge, I would say. Do you want someone else to do it for you?
