File size question

[Santana]

Hi all,

I am working on a script and am stuck (again) in calculating the size of all files in a folder.

Basically, what I want to do is to copy any file that is less than 5k in size to another folder

I am able to loop through the files but it return zero for the file size. Here is the code I have so far. Any help will be appreciated.

$path = @ScriptDir & '\result\'
$search = FileFindFirstFile($path & '*.*')
while 1
$file = FileFindNextFile($search)
if @error then ExitLoop
$size = FileGetSize($file)
ConsoleWrite('File ' & $file & 'is '  & $size & @cr)
WEnd

$search = FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir & '\result\*.*')
$size = 0

while 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    if @error then ExitLoop
    $size = $size + FileGetSize($file)
WEnd

MsgBox(4096, "Total size = ", $size)
FileClose($search)

If $size > 5 Then

The return value is the file name only, without the path. You'll need to concatenate the path also, or change the current working directory. If the current directory is the directory you're searching then it should work without any problem.

@ Authenticity

you're right, I tested only in the current dir

$path = @ScriptDir & "\result\"
$search = FileFindFirstFile($path & "*.*")
$size = 0

while 1
    $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    if @error then ExitLoop
    $size = $size + FileGetSize($path & $file)
WEnd

MsgBox(4096, "Total size = ", $size)
FileClose($search)

Note that FileFindFirstFile does not recurse folders

Thanks Inverted. It works great. Now, I thought the easiest part was to write

$kilo = $size/1024 to get the size in k but the size doesnt match the file size when I right click and hit property

any hint??

thanks again

The bytes are correct. (Unless you have other folder inside \result)

Or is the discrepancy after converting to kbs ?

Also, I hope you're not confusing "size" and "size on disk". Size on disk is bigger because of the way the filesystem works (depends on the allocation unit size)

EDIT: I forgot you want to check each file, I thought we were adding up the sizes, lol. Anyway, you can go on your own, it's not complex to compare each file's size to 5*1024
