Need help getting free space on drive

[am632]

Hi,

I have an imputbox which when you click the browse buton you can choose a directory - then when you click ok, the inputbox is automatically updated with the directory you chose which works fine, but id like to display a lable of the freespace of that folder in MB.

I think i need to do this using drivespacefree but im not sure exactly what i need to do, can anyone help please?

thanks

$folder = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder.", "")

MsgBox(0,"",$folder)

$space = DriveSpaceFree( StringLeft($folder,3) )

MsgBox(4096, "Free space on " & StringLeft($folder,3) , $space & "MB")

Hi, thanks for the reply - works gr8. Just 1 question, how do I round it so there isnt a long decimal?

thanks

EDIT:

I changed the line of code to read

$SPACEDETECTEDRESULT = GUICtrlCreateLabel($FREESPACEONDRIVE /1024 & " GB", 220, 400, 170, 22)

which works and displays the correct number 134 in my case, but there are loads of numbers behind the decimal point. how can i get rid of them?

thanks

$SPACEDETECTEDRESULT = GUICtrlCreateLabel(Floor($FREESPACEONDRIVE /1024) & " GB", 220, 400, 170, 22)

If you want there to be decimal places, use Round($FREESPACEONDRIVE /1024, 2) ; 2 meaning 2 decimal places.

If you want there to be decimal places, use Round($FREESPACEONDRIVE /1024, 2) ; 2 meaning 2 decimal places.

What would be the final full code?

$folder = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder.", "") 
MsgBox(0,"",$folder) 
$space = Round(DriveSpaceFree( StringLeft($folder,3) ) / 1024, 2) 
MsgBox(4096, "Free space on " & StringLeft($folder,3) , $space & "MB")
