Look in the help file for the commands:

_FileListToArray

FileGetSize

MsgBox

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Raffav,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. ;)

What you want to do is very easy - take a look at the following in the Help file and you should be able to put something together:

@ScriptDir - Where the script is located

_FileListToArray - Get a list of the files in a folder

For..Next - Loop through those files

FileGetSize - Get the size of each file

If...EndIf - Check if the file is > 1Gb

MsgBox - Show the result.

Give it a go and see how you get on - you know where we are if you run into difficulties. :)

Here to start with

#include <Array.au3>
$dirPath = "C:UsersMarkoDesktoptest"
$fileArray = _FileListToArray($dirPath)
$fileSize = 0
$size = 0

searchresult,

I see the "give a man a fish" versus "give a man a net" argument is lost on you. ;)

If $CMDLINE[0] = 0 Then
    ; parameter needed
    MsgBox(0,"", "parametro necessario")
    Exit
EndIf
;~     Else
Local $size = FileGetSize($CMDLINE[1])
if $size = 0 Then
    ; file not found/insert
    MsgBox(0,"","arquivo não encontrado/informado")

ElseIf $size >= "945804" Then
    ; new pst needed

Look at the GUICreate style of $WS_POPUP

Another, likely very fast, way to peg which file is largest in a directory:

#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sDirectory = @WindowsDir, $sStdOut
$PID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c DIR "' & $sDirectory & '" /B /A-D /O-S', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
While Not @error
    $sStdOut &= StdoutRead($PID)
WEnd
$sStdOut = StringLeft($sStdOut, StringInStr($sStdOut, @CRLF) - 1)
MsgBox(0, $sDirectory, "Largest file: " & $sStdOut)

Edit: Change the "$sStdOut = " statemnet near the end to a StringSplit() and you'd have an array sorted by filesize. You could parse that and only have to call FileGetSize() for those files that meet the minimum filesize requirement (with the exception of the one FileGetSize() call that read the first file below the minimum size, causing an exit from the loop).

Edit2: I suppose avoiding any FileGetSize() calls would be better:

#include <Array.au3> ; for testing
#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sDirectory = @WindowsDir, $iMinSize = 500000, $sStdOut, $iIndex = 0

$PID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c DIR "' & $sDirectory & '" /A-D /-C /O-S', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
While Not @error
    $sStdOut &= StdoutRead($PID)
WEnd
$aStdOut = StringSplit($sStdOut, @CRLF)

For $x = 1 To $aStdOut[0] ; pack and (partially) format array
    If StringMid($aStdOut[$x], 3, 1) = "/" Then
        $aStdOut[$x] = StringStripWS($aStdOut[$x], 7)
        $aStdOut[$x] = StringTrimLeft($aStdOut[$x], StringInStr($aStdOut[$x], " ", 2, 3))
        If $aStdOut[$x] < $iMinSize Then ExitLoop
        $iIndex += 1
        $aStdOut[$iIndex] = $aStdOut[$x]
    EndIf
Next
$aStdOut[0] = $iIndex
ReDim $aStdOut[$iIndex + 1]

_ArrayDisplay($aStdOut, "Files > " & $iMinSize) ; for testing

I am guilty sometimes of providing the net, but I've left holes in this, and the OP has posted original code showing he's making the effort ;)

Read the entire sentence.

Step 1 - Read the help file for information about GUICreate

Step 2 - Look at the styles for GUICreate and find $WS_POPUP, there's a hyperlink in the help file under GUICreate for the styles and extended styles for the function.

The ws_popup style doesn't have those controls on the GUI, so there's no need to disable them. If for some reason you want those controls on the GUI but they are disabled then you're going to have to search for the numerous examples in the forum for that as I can't recall how it's done.

it will be something like that?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ###
$Form1 = GUICreate("pst alert", 431, 156,$WS_POPUP)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 16, 409, 97)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 24, 120, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 144, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
e

EDIT1 i down know the name but in the autoitscript Editor has a hot key that organize the scirpt like

ie:

if something then

$fileSize = 0
$size = 0
$fileName = ""
For $i = 1 to UBound($fileArray) - 1

Raffav,

Look at the _FileListToArray command in the Help file to see how to limit the returns to only "*.pst" files. :)

As to the smallest file - you need something like this:

$fileName = ""
$size = 1e10 ; Set a big number to start with
For $i = 1 to UBound($fileArray) - 1

   $fileSize = FileGetSize($fileArray[$i])
   If $fileSize < $size Then ; Now see if this file is even smaller
        $size = $fileSize
        $fileName = $fileArray[$i]
   EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0, "Smallest file", "Smallest file is " & $fileName)

All clear? ;)
