Thanks for the submit! My alternative produces summaries only for directories. The original post additionally lists all files in the current directory. Sometimes the files, they just clutter up the output. Once the big directory is located, *then* worry about which file(s) are consuming so much space.

replace the "-" by the character you wish. If you have multiple extentions, like jpef, jpg and JPG you could use

If you do not have shuf or an -R option in sort, you can fall back on awk. This provides maximum portability IMO. The command first collects words from the dictionary that match the criteria - in this case: lower case words with no punctuation that are 4 to 8 characters long. It then prints 4 random entries. I decided to print each word on a separate line to improve readability.
-1awk 'BEGIN {srand} /^[a-z]{4,8}$/ {w[i++]=$0} END {while (j++<4) print w[int(rand*i)]}' /usr/share/dict/words -
The command was too long for the command box, so here it is:
echo $(( `wget -qO - http://i18n.counter.li.org/ | grep 'users registered' | sed 's/.*\<font size=7\>//g' | tr '\>' ' ' | sed 's/<br.*//g' | tr ' ' '\0'` + `curl --silent http://www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter?lang=en | grep users | head -2 | tail -1 | sed 's/.*<strong>//g' | sed 's/<\/strong>.*//g'` ))This took me about an hour to do. It uses wget and curl because, dudalibre.com blocks wget, and wget worked nicely for me. Show Sample Output-1Check the Description below. -
