List File Size Script 1

pbanacos · Aug 28, 2006

Hello,

The script below is searching for specific files and memory usage on my system. Is there a way to just make this display the total file size.

Thanks in adavance!

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "%comspec% /c c: & dir /s /w *.m4a *.mp3 *.wmv .wma >Music.txt "_
& " & notepad music.txt

Thanks for the post Mark that was a great help.

I have one more newbie question...

If I wanted to search for multiple file types should I use an IF statement with || or && "M4A", "Windows Media Audio" etc.

Is that even possible to search for multiple file types?

Thanks for the post again!

You could switch out the If statement:

If oFile.Type = "MP3 Format Sound" Then
SizeReport = SizeReport + oFile.Size
End If

And replace with a Select Case

Select Case oFile.Type
Case "MP3 Format Sound", "Windows Media Audio"
SizeReport = SizeReport + oFile.Size
End Select

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
