Sorry Squashman, I did what you suggested, but to a begginer doesn´t do much sense, I know that I need a lot of maybe basic knowledge, still don´t know what means a lot of symbols like: (%%x), or (tokens=1,2 delims=:), but I believe that this is the porpuse of this board, and as I learn with your help it help others.

When I use these alone it gives me the size of the folders on the desktop, but in a DOS windows.

Unbalanced parentheses, invalid syntax (missing space space between ) and else, and whatever you think for %%x in %drive% do LIST GIGA.TXT >nul 2>nul /-y %drive%\*.%%x %drive%\GIGA should do).

Of course. I don't see any redirection of the ECHO output to a file.

but I believe that this is the porpuse of this board

Actually the commands are well-documented and it's not the purpose of this forum to repeat the help messages of the commands and to teach you the basics. In the first place it's your task to read them and learn/look up the syntax.
Run HELP, or <command> /? (with <command> as placeholder for the actual command like SET or FOR), or look it up in the Command Index on DosTips, or in the official Microsoft documentation.

thanks aGerman I will look at that index

Hello steffen, I am back and after reading, trying, testing I got two things:
1.- a program that tells me who is the user - to be use on the desktop
2.- a program that you started, that tells me the amount of megas used by the folders on my desktop, I solved converting the bytes to megas and writting the output of the Cmd to a text form and put it inside a folder.

I will post both, as I see that a lot of people asked in other boards how to send the CMD result to a text form.

I haven´t tried if the program will work on the other partitions with the commands already listed, or it will need another set of commands.

[AR Coding]

First of all the variable b is not going to be defined since %11000000% is undefined and second of all why do you need to set a if you already have size? And Why do you need all this?

set a=%size%
set b=%11000000%
set /a division=%a%/%b%
set /a result=%size%/%11000000%

you can just use

Code: Select all

set /a "result=%size%/11000000"

PS: I think you should stick to 1 post

Hi there AR Coding, the program seems useless, but it help me a lot as I format a lot of computers and clients asked to save the data they have in diferent partitions. I could use the first code, but then I would have to change to the next partition and do the same, also can do the usual select all the folders and look at the properties for the size, but this way I do it automatically, and know right away how much space I need to backup.

[ShadowThief]

%11000000% isn't a valid variable, though.

It's %1 (the first argument that the script receives), followed by 1000000, followed by % (which won't do anything since there's only one %)
