[plug] bash script program help

[Jon Miller]

I could use some help in creating a program for a task that I need to do.
I would like to know if there is a function in bash scripting or that can be used in a bash script that can determine the size of a file.
What I need to do is to compare the file size of "A" against file "B", not sure if this possible in bash scripting.
Also in the script cat A >> B doesn't seem to work.
Need to read in the listing of a text file to get names from it, when finish with the various functions read the next name on the list and repeat the functions.


Thanks
