File type, wildcard and size search


Recommended Posts

Ok im trying to do a checkbox that when it is ticked then gives me an approximate size of the item of the checkbox type

So for example ignoring the checkbox bit for the moment

say i choose drive c:\ and i have the need to know the total size of the mp3's that are on that drive

I looked at FileGetSize but it wont do directory's, so i tried this

$drive = "C:\"
$size = DirGetSize($drive & "*.mp3")
Msgbox(0,"","Size: " & Round($size / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 ) & "  GB")

But it doesn't like the wildcard, $drive on its own works fine but i need the total of the wildcarded mp3's

Any suggestions which way to go?

Thanks

Chimaera,

Use my RecFileListToArray UDF to get an array of all the .mp3 files on the drive - then loop through them using FileGetSize. :unsure:

M23

Edit: This works fine for me:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <RecFileListToArray.au3>

$sRoot = "M:\Music\MP3\"

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3", 1, 1)

$nSize = 0
For $i = 1 To $aListing[0]
    $nSize += FileGetSize($sRoot & $aListing[$i]) / 1048576
Next

MsgBox(0, "Total", Round($nSize, 2) & "Mb")

And the total is not too far removed from that returned by my file manager. :>

Does it support just drive selection? when i try this it dosent work

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include "RecFileListToArray.au3"  

Local $aArray, $drive 
$drive = "C:\" 
$type = ".mp3" 
$aArray = _RecFileListToArray($drive, $type, 0, 1, 1) 

_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Or have i done something wrong?

and is FileGetSize($array) the correct way to use an array with FileGetSize? as i really dont use arrays with the stuff i do

EDIT

sorry you posted just before i did

Thx for the help

Chimaera,

Or have i done something wrong?

Yup! :D

$type = "*.mp3" ; Do not forget the wildcard

is FileGetSize($array) the correct way

No, you need to use a loop as I showed in the example I posted above. :unsure:

If you are not comfortable with arrays, then I recommend the Arrays tutorial in the Wiki. Arrays are a fundamental part of coding and you should at least understand the basics of how they work as many AutoIt functions use them as return values. ;)

Edit: Glad you got it sorted. :>

One small other thought, there are some windows .mp3s i will need to exclude they have known names so i can easily do a list

Now i see from the udf that this is required

$sExclude_List = "First.mp3";"second.mp3" etc

But at what point do i include the excludes if that makes sense lol

Just thought is it possible to search for more than one type of music?

for eg

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3","*.wma", 1, 1)?

Chimaera,

You need to include the excludes (:unsure:) when you call the function - like this:

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3", 1, 1, 0, 1, "First.mp3;Second.mp3")

Note the syntax - you only need a single pair of quotes around the list of excludes, with semicolons between them. :D

How many excludes will you have? If there are quite a few you might be better removing them from the returned array rather than excluding them from the listing function itself - let me know if you want some help along those lines. :>

Yes, you can do that but you need to use the correct syntax as I explained above:

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3;*.wma", 1, 1)

All clear? ;)

something like this for vista

"Kalimba.mp3" "Maid with the Flaxen Hair.mp3" "Sleep Away.mp3" "Amanda.wma" "Despertar.wma" "Din Din Wo (Little Child).wma" "Din Din Wo (Little Child).wma" "Distance.wma" "I Guess You're Right.wma" "I Ka Barra (Your Work).wma" "Love Comes.wma" "Muita Bobeira.wma" "OAM's Blues.wma" "One Step Beyond.wma" "Symphony_No_3.wma"

and for xp

"Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma" "New Stories (Highway Blues).wma"

something of that nature there maybe the odd one or two extra

Im not sure if you spotted this edit on my last post

Just thought is it possible to search for more than one type of music?

for eg

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3","*.wma", 1, 1)? is that correct

Thanks for the help and advice, i think the double answering didnt help lol

Here's the final code

Gives total for all music off common formats on drive with exceptions of all windows music

#include <Array.au3>
#include <RecFileListToArray.au3>

$sRoot = "C:\"

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.3gp;*.aiff;*.aac;*.alac;*.dct;*.flac;*.m4p;*.mpc;*.mp3;*.ogg;*.ra;*.rm;*.wma", 1, 1, "Kalimba.mp3;Maid with the Flaxen Hair.mp3;Sleep Away.mp3;Amanda.wma;Despertar.wma;Din Din Wo (Little Child).wma;Distance.wma;I Guess You're Right.wma;I Ka Barra (Your Work).wma;Love Comes.wma;Muita Bobeira.wma;OAM's Blues.wma;One Step Beyond.wma;Symphony_No_3.wma;Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma;New Stories (Highway Blues).wma")

$nSize = 0
For $i = 1 To $aListing[0]
    $nSize += FileGetSize($sRoot & $aListing[$i]) / 1048576
Next

MsgBox(0, "Total", Round($nSize, 2) & "  Mb")

Many thanks to Melba23 for the help

Chimaera,

You are obviously looking to exclude the files that ship with Windows. As these are all in the same subfolder, you can do this easily by using the $sExclude_List_Folder parameter as explained in the function header and the thread lead post. ;)

This works for my Vista setup:

;
$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, "*.mp3;*wma", 0, 1, 0, 1, "", "x86_microsoft-windows-musicsamples_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_a81d9e66b53cd1c0")
;

It does make the line a little shorter! :>

Edit: New forum software does not like long single lines of code. :unsure:

Edit: Although not by much it seems! :D

This is a little shorter

#include <Array.au3> 
#include <RecFileListToArray.au3> 
$sRoot = "c:\" 
$includes = '"*.3gp;*.aiff;*.aac;*.alac;*.dct;*.flac;*.m4p;*.mpc;*.mp3;*.ogg;*.ra;*.rm;*.wma"' 
$excludes = '"Kalimba.mp3;Maid with the Flaxen Hair.mp3;Sleep Away.mp3;Amanda.wma;Despertar.wma;Din Din Wo (Little Child).wma;Distance.wma;I Guess You?re Right.wma;I Ka Barra (Your Work).wma;Love Comes.wma;Muita Bobeira.wma;OAM?s Blues.wma;One Step Beyond.wma;Symphony_No_3.wma;Beethoven?s Symphony No. 9 (Scherzo).wma;New Stories (Highway Blues).wma"' 

$aListing = _RecFileListToArray($sRoot, $includes, 1, 1, $excludes)  

$nSize = 0 
For $i = 1 To $aListing[0]     
$nSize += FileGetSize($sRoot & $aListing[$i]) / 1048576 
Next  
MsgBox(0, "Total", Round($nSize /1024, 2) & "  Gb Of Music")
