Loop a line command in bash

Question

How would I loop this line to print everything jpg to a text file??

stat --printf="%s" *.jpg >> results.txt

How would you also be able to print results.txt based on a file size?? How would the code look?? The exact size of the file is 40318

Answer 1

You already are printing the results for all *.jpg files. The only problem is that by using --printf="%s" you are changing the output format of stat to print only the size (without line breaks or spaces in between each item).

Try instead:

stat --printf="%s
" *.jpg >> results.txt
#  OR
stat -c "%s" *.jpg >> results.txt

To print the filename next to the size, try:

stat --printf="%n %s
" *.jpg >> results.txt
# OR
stat -c "%n %s" *.jpg >> results.txt
