But originally you wrote you want to check files and not directories. Your ls -al 2006* should already show the sizes the file require. Maybe you want to add the sizes yourself, using ls -al 2006* | awk '{s+=$5} END{print s}' If not, it may help if you re-phrase your question (and/or provide some samples that show what you want to obtain).
