This may be simple, but I don't know how.
TIA

That depends what you mean. You mean the size of all files in that directory? Including subdirectories or no?
Depending which you want,
| Code: |
ls -s /dir | grep total
|
or
will do it. The first excludes subdirectories, the second does not. |

Yes, the total including subdirectories. Thanks for the reply, I'll give a go.
