Plkowner Plkowner Lurker Registered: 2002-11-13 Posts: 3	I can't seem to get my script to output any disk space information. I have tried the example provided in the kix2001.doc but still no go, any help would be great.

Waltz Waltz Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 485 Loc: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada	In this case, the spaces and quotes are not the issue. The function requires string input so (C:\), ( "C:\" ), ("C:\") are equivalent... Rather, you need to 'write' the returned value... code: $result=getdiskspace("c:\") If redirectoutput("") = 0 ; to the console "free space is : "+$result+" Kbytes"? Endif If redirectoutput("mylogfile.log") = 0 ; to a file "free space is : "+$result+" Kbytes"? Endif If redirectoutput("") = 0 ; back to the console "all done"? Endif [ 13.
