Dir Contents

[Orca]

How can I select C:\ and return two arrays

$dirs[0] containing # of entries

$dirs[1-n] containing dir names

$files[0] containing # of entires

$files[1-n] containing file names

I'm trying to build a script that generates a file listing a systems contents in a tree format. If its been done please direct

I guess you could do something with CMD, Run it in a hidden window, type "Dir" and pipe it out to a file? or if you have the latest beta you can use stdout().

I'm not remember that was exactly solution for dirs, but you can start with this. It's works for files, but can be modified for dirs.

CMD is dissabled on the computer I'm interested in running this. The reason for the script is that I'm disallowed from the C:[local] as a user, but autoit can access it just fine. Since I can't normally walk in and view contents I need something that can do it for me.

Same, I made something exactly the same as this, I didnt have access to C:\ Drive. I created a "File Viewer" in VB but I dont know how to emulate this in AutoIt .

1) Have you seen the DirGetSize function (notice the flag 1 option)

2) There is also the DOS "tree" command...

Run(@ComSpec & " /c tree C: /F") ;visually verify the command works

Run(@ComSpec & " /c tree C: /F > C:\OutputOfTree.txt") ;redirect to file

I'll leave filling the arrays to you, but here is a sample calling out to the FileSystemObject using the ObjCreate function in the new release available from the Developer forum:

$fso = ObjCreate("Scripting.FileSystemObject");Instantiate FileSystemObject
$rootFolder = "C:\"
$root = $fso.GetFolder($rootFolder) 
$subs = $root.SubFolders; Create SubFolders Collection
ConsoleWrite("There are " & $subs.count & " folders in " & $rootFolder & @CR)
For $fol in $subs; Loop through each subfolder in folder collection
    ConsoleWrite(@TAB & $fol.name & " has " & $fol.files.count & " files" & @CR)
    If $fol.name = "System Volume Information" then ContinueLoop; Special folder, skip
    $files = $fol.Files; Create files collection in subfolders
    For $file in $files; Loop through files in folders
        ConsoleWrite(@TAB & @TAB & $file.name & " (" & $file.size & " bytes)" & @CR)
    Next
