#168802 - 2006-10-03 05:26 PM GETFILESIZE() >>> GETSIZE() with wildcard support
masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	Would be useful to in a very simple way get the total filesize of more than one file(s), directories, or even a drive. Edited by masken (2006-10-13 05:59 PM) _________________________ The tart is out there

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11625 Loc: CA	Please provide an example of what you're thinking of. Do you mean sort of like a DIR Size of a folder or a given file extension? Not sure what you're thinking of here.

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	Getfilesize("%WINDIR%\KB.log") for example or an even better one but isn't supported in any other wildcard-functions I guess: Getfilesize("%WINDIR%\KB######.log") Edited by masken (2006-10-03 08:36 PM)*

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11625 Loc: CA	Thanks for the clarification. I won't bother to post a work around as I'm sure you already know how to do it and this is a suggestion to enable such tasks a little easier for scripters.

Bryce Bryce KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-02-29 Posts: 3167 Loc: Houston TX	hmm, interesting request... a workaround... Code: $kixFiles = dirplus('c:\kix','/a-d /s /f kix') for each $file in $kixfiles $totalSize = $totalSize + $file.size next ? $totalSize

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Workarounds certainly have their place in the suggestion forum. They serve to either support or dismiss the suggestion. A complex workaround the former and a simple workaround the latter.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11625 Loc: CA	I don't disagree. If the person was new to KiXtart and didn't understand how then yes providing them with a work-around would be appropriate. I know that Masken knows how to code it already himself so I didn't provide one as I didn't see the need. I've also not seen anyone else post asking how to do it, so again didn't see a reason to write up code for it. This is now up to about 11 posts when it could have probably ended at 3 or 4 so Ruud wouldn't need to read all of them since that is often what you ask us to do anyways is curtail our posts in Beta and Suggestions I thought.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Well... I then count three of your low value posts that Ruud now needs to wade through. Your response to Bryce was out of place as bryce showed how simple the workaround is. Your posts also demand they be answered with more low value posts. If anyone adds anything of value after our ramblings, there is a big chance Ruud had already hit the back button and it would go unread.

masken masken MM club member Registered: 2000-11-27 Posts: 1222 Loc: Gothenburg, Sweden	Changed the topic to: GETFILESIZE() >>> GETSIZE() with wildcard support Really, it would be great to have a built-in function that could get the size of any path, with or without wildcards. Including both files, folders, or even drives... This would also go beyond the FileSystemObject's possibilities. In this thread: http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=143492 Ruud mentions folder support, but it doesn't seem to be working in 4.53? Edited by masken (2006-10-13 06:04 PM)
