Why not just use find to test for a file size since thats what he asked
for in the first place :)
find ./ -size +5M
Finds all files recursively from the dir you are standing in with a size
of 5 MB or more.
-size n[cwbkMG] File uses n units of space
Numeric arguments can be specified as
+n for greater than n,
-n for less than n,
n for exactly n.
