I have to find all file types using file -b $(find . -type f), sort them into unique categories, and print out top 4 most categories where the number is replaced with equal number of #.The output should look something like this: 8 empty                      : ######## 6 ASCII text                 : ###### 3 Vim swap file, version 7.4 : ### 1 UTF-8 Unicode text         : #I can't figure out how to print out the number of files in each category as # marks.I want get the number on each line as a value and put same amount of # marks at the end.
