* Find all file sizes and file names from the current directory down (replace "." with a target directory as needed). * sort the file sizes in numeric order * List only the duplicated file sizes * drop the file sizes so there are simply a list of files (retain order) * calculate md5sums on all of the files * replace the first instance of two spaces (md5sum output) with a \0 * drop the unique md5sums so only duplicate files remain listed * Use AWK to aggregate identical files on one line. * Remove the blank line from the beginning (This was done more efficiently by putting another "IF" into the AWK command, but then the whole line exceeded the 255 char limit). >>>> Each output line contains the md5sum and then all of the files that have that identical md5sum. All fields are \0 delimited. All records are \n delimited.

Pass the files path to finfo(), can be unix path, dos path, relative or absolute. The file is converted into an absolute nix path, then checked to see if it is in-fact a regular/existing file. Then converted into an absolute windows path and sent to "wmic". Then magic, you have windows file details right in the terminal. Uses: cygwin, cygpath, sed, and awk. Needs Windows WMI "wmic.exe" to be operational. The output is corrected for easy...
