Yes, thats works.
Is there a way to format the output in MB instead of bytes ?
My whole script is formatted with the "FormatNumber" expression while writing results to a textfile.

WRITELINE (1, $item[0] + " " + $item[1] + @CRLF)

When I run my script, I got all homedirs and their sizer. That's good. But is it possible to limit the number of items to, lets say 10 ? So only the top-10 of the biggest folders will be reported ?

Yes, just use an index counter.

Also just ask up front what you really want, this is like the 2nd or 3rd request to have it do something different than you originally asked, which is okay, but asking up front and letting us know specifically what you want would save everyone time.

I'm sorry, I thought my firt question was clear:

Quote:

I want to scan the size of the users HomeDirs in our HomeDirs folder, sort all folders by size and write the 3 biggest folders' name and size in a textfile.



So, now I have almost all of it, only the selection of the 10 biggest folders (okay, instead of 3) is missing.

Using counters ? I'm afraid I do not know how to do so. If I did, I wouldn't be asking on this forum, would I?

well, if you have a array having the folders, counter is the thingie inside the brackets.

thus $array[0] would give you the largest.

for $counter=0 to 9
$array[$counter] ?
next

would give you the 10 largest.

OK, I understand the meaning of $Counter, but I'm not sure where to put in in my script. I've tried serval places without any luck. Could you please tell me where to put int in ?


*********
break on
call 'quicksort.udf'
call 'dirplus.udf'

OPEN (1, "E:\Script\HomeSize @MDAYNO @MONTH @YEAR.txt",5)

$root = dirplus('$HomeDirsLocation','/ad')

dim $folders[ubound($root)]

for $i = 0 to ubound($root)
$n = $root[$i].name
$s = val($root[$i].size)
$folders[$i] = $n,$s
next

$folders = quicksort($folders,1)

For $i = UBound($folders) To 0 Step -1
$item=$folders[$i]
$item[0]+" "+$item[1]+@CRLF
WRITELINE (1, $item[0] + " " + FormatNumber (CDbl($item[1]/1024/1024),0) + " MB" + @CRLF)
Next

well, I already gave you example but here:
For $i = UBound($folders) To 0 Step -1

instead of ubound, do $i = 9

I'm sorry Jooel, I replaced

For $i = UBound($folders) To 0 Step -1

by

For $i = 9 To 0 Step -1

but this gives me a result of all homedirs sizes of 0MB...

Try this:
Code:
$iLimit=UBound($Folders)-9
If $iLimit<9 $iLimit=UBound($Folders) EndIf
For $i = UBound($folders) To $iLimit Step -1
	$item=$folders[$i]
	$item[0]+" "+$item[1]+@CRLF
	$=WriteLine(1, $item[0] + " " + FormatNumber (CDbl($item[1]/1024/1024),0) + " MB" + @CRLF)
Next

hmm...
sorry for my ignorance.
it wasn't clear to me which way your sorted array was increasing.
specially when you were going it backwards up in the for loop, it got me confused.

Last question:
In my script I'm first scanning all HomeDirs and writing the results to my textfile. After that I'm scanning the GroupsDirs and also writing the results to the textfile. But, when a HomeDirectory's size is bigger than one of the GroupsDirs, it appears in the GroupsDirs result list.

So, is there a command to clear the "cache" after having scanned the Homedirs ?
