Yes, that was my thought to only evaluate sub2 but was not sure how to get to only sub2 directory without have the script evaluating main and sub1.

There will be approx 10 files in sub2.

i beleive I wrongly stated something. I want the log.txt to only be present in sub2 for the size ofsub2 and no other. The sub2 will be the directory which grows in size and will be the location of the php script that will be executed. I know the log is currently create for main, sub1 and sub2. When ...

Once again thanks for your help but I have run into a situation. The script you provided works great for what I was trying to accomplish but something has changed. The folder structure has been changed on me. Original structure: C:\main\sub1 New structure: C:\main\sub1\sub2 Yes, your script does wha...

Yes, I did noticed the . in the log file. I don't have to have dead accuracy. The real purpose of the log file checking the folder size is to compare it to a future run of the file to see if a process is still running and creating content. As long as the current log file content is less than the fut...

This came out of generalizing your original framework and incorporating previous suggestions: FolderSize.bat @Echo Off :FolderSize [folder] setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set "log=log.txt" set "target=c:\main" If .%~1 NEQ . Set "target=%~1" set "dirsize=0" s...

Thank you both for valuable information.

Ah, thank you for pointing that out. Didn't see it. So, windows has no command to use in batch file to get directory size?
Thanks again

If the log file does not exist I want to write the directory's side to the log file and save it. The sub directories being checked are fairly small to st...

Thanks Squashman. I was using cut because I ran across it a while back and didn't know any better, but I see from your example an easy way of doing it.
Thanks again

Many thanks, after the do statement, is it possible to multiple commands on the same line, or do you have to use ( )?

I am trying to open a text file, read it line by line, use each line in script commands. I am having trouble getting it to work. The text file being opened and read looks as follows: abc:123-def ghi:456-jkl mno:789-pqr I am opening the file and looping thru with the following code: set "spath=C...

Thank you greatly, had to modify the path so with your suggestions.

I have a fairly simple script that sets a base path, opens a txt file, reads the line, cuts the file into parts based on characters. The same script had been working fine a year ago but for some reason it will not execute now. When I run the following, the command window flashes up and closes. I can...
