Directory Size

Is there any way to know the size of one directory ?

FSIZE only returns the size of one file.

I can list all the files and sum the size of each one but it takes a lot of time to run.

Thanks

Hello Paulo

The FDirSize() function will give you what you need but according to the help it also can take awhile to process. I would assume that all these operations are dependant on calls to standard OS services.

Hello Paulo

You are right, I just checked and it it is a new feature in V12. Looks like your current method is the best available in V11.

Paolo,

FilesystemObject script 
fso is Automation "Scripting.FileSystemObject"
fldr is Automation dynamic
fldr=fso>>GetFolder("c:\temp")
Info(fldr>>Size)
delete fldr
or WMI

Both also can take some time, depending on foldersize

It works and it's faster than my previous code.

Peter: Can you post how to do it with WMI?
