GetFolderSize

Post by Dominic_Fichera » Tue Aug 04, 2015 5:52 am

Hey guys,

Is there any kind of code to get the size of a folder? I know there's one for individual files, but what about an entire folder? Or alternatively, will I need to branch into my non-existant knowledge of VB? haha :lol:

Thanks in advance as always,

Dominic

There's a little VBScript snippet for doing this at:

Hey Marcus,

Thanks for your reply :)

Is that the right link? The page doesn't have anything about checking folder size/vb script. It's about REGEX and counting periods in a string.

Thanks! :)

That's perfect! :) Thanks Marcus!

I know it's "Off-Thread", but any chance of an inbuilt FolderSize function in the future?
