Hello!

I'm beginner in bash programming. I want to display head -n $1 results of sorting files by size in /etc/*. The problem is that at final search, I must know how many directories and files has processed.

I compose following code:

#!/bash/bin
let countF=0;   
let countD=0;
for file in $(du -sk /etc/* |sort +0n | head $1); do
 if [ -f  "file" ] then
   echo $file;
   let countF=countF+1;
else if [ -d  "file" ] then 
   let countD=countD+1;
fi
done
echo $countF
echo $countD

I have errors at execution. How use find with du, because I must search recursively?
