File Size Finder

Keywords: Find file size directory tree   

---

Question:

I need to compute all file sizes with in a directory tree.

Answer:

Option #1: Starting with version 98A of WinBatch, see the function DirSize.

Option #2: There is an example script called "file size finder.wbt" in the WinBatch\Sample directory. Here is a copy of the script.
DIRSIZE: This file traverses the directory tree and computes the total size of all files on the drive.

        DirChange("C:\")
        BoxOpen("File Size Inspector","Reading Initial Directories")
        tot = FileSize(FileItemize("*.*"))
        sub1 = DirItemize("*.*")
        totdir=0
        level=1
        dir1=DirGet()
        numdir1 = ItemCount(sub1, @tab)
        index1 = 0
  
        :dsloop
        If index%level% == numdir%level% Then Goto upalevel
        index%level% = index%level% + 1
        DirChange(StrCat(dir%level%, ItemExtract(index%level%, sub%level%, @tab)))
        BoxText(strcat("Level=",level,@crlf,"Total=",tot,@crlf,dir%level%))
        totdir=totdir+1
        tot = tot + FileSize(FileItemize("*.*"))
        level = level + 1
        dir%level% = DirGet()
        sub%level% = DirItemize("*.*")
        numdir%level% = ItemCount(sub%level%, @tab)
        index%level% = 0
        goto dsloop
  
        :upalevel
        drop(dir%level%,sub%level%,index%level%,numdir%level%)
        level=level-1
        if level!=0 then goto dsloop
 
        ; -----------
        ; Termination
        ; -----------
        BoxShut()
        If StrLen(tot) < 9 Then tot = StrCat(StrFill("", 9 - StrLen(tot)), tot)
        tot = StrCat(StrSub(tot,1,3),",",StrSub(tot,4,3),",",StrSub(tot,7,3))
        tot = StrTrim(tot)
        If StrSub(tot, 1, 1) == "," Then tot = StrSub(tot, 2, StrLen(tot) - 1)
        tot = StrTrim(tot)
        If StrSub(tot, 1, 1) == "," Then tot = StrSub(tot, 2, StrLen(tot) - 1)
        tot = StrTrim(tot)
        Message("%totdir% Subdirectories included", "Total size %tot% bytes.")
        Exit
