echo $(du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg) | cut -f 1 -d " "

This does the same:
du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg | cut -f 1

Re: Do not get too excited but......

echo $(du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg) | cut -f 1 -d " "

This does the same:
du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg | cut -f 1

using 3 programs (bash, du,cut) for such an easy task?
l=( $(du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg) ) echo $l

thank you thayer and tomk! Parsing the versions is so hard: damned rc1, pre, alpha, -, . and so on!
I'm thinking I'll have to fall back to the timestamp of the files

Re: Do not get too excited but......

du -h /var/cache/pacman/pkg
5.5G    /var/cache/pacman/pkg

never cleaned it out. reinstalled once though. don't remember why. Will get much smaller soon as I'm getting a new machine.

also:

df -h /
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3              25G   11G   13G  47% /

so the pacman cache is taking up as much space as everything else not in /home. at least I'd know what to do if I needed space.
