I just want the dang folder size!

[ueberyak]

I have a portion of a script that I only want to run when a folder's size changes. I need to use folder size because it contains a zillion subfolders, subsubfolders, etc. and I won't ever know what changed.

I have the following, but it returns way more information than I need. The other issue is that if I were to run this for the actual folder I'm interested in, it'd run for a really long time.

Code: Select all

let>oDirectory=C:\FolderSizeTest\
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=2
Let>RP_WAIT=1

Run>cmd /c dir %oDirectory% /s | find "(s)" > C:\FolderSizeReport\FolderSize.txt

Hi,

Try this:

Code: Select all

VBSTART
  Function GetFolderSize(Path)
     Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Path)
     GetFolderSize = objFolder.Size
  End Function
VBEND

VBEval>GetFolderSize("c:\temp"),fSize
