 Ugh... don't they teach you kids anything at uni these days? ;-)

 try

 find (starting directory) -size (size)c  [ the c means 'characters' ]

 e.g. find ~/ -size 4096c

 Find is great, but not a lot of people know how to use it.  Take the
 time though, it's really good!  I'll have a closer look at your regexp
 question when I get to work. :-)
