Folder list and its sizes - batch-file

Question

I have a parent folder which contains more than 100 sub-folders. I want a text file which contain sub-folders and their size. Could you please help me to build the batch program?

Answer 1

Only for the files name without the size you can use this code-
dir *.* /b /s >> C:\ListOfFile.txt
Change your "C:\" path to whenever you want to save your file.

Answer 2

Although you did not show any effort to try it on your own, I decided to help you, because the task might not be that particularly trivial to accomplish...
Have you ever seen the output of dir /S (the command to list files in a specified directory and all its sub-directories)? It summarises the total count of files at the end, including also the overall size:
D:\TEMP>dir /S /-C
Volume in drive D is DATA
Volume Serial Number is XXXX-XXXX
Directory of D:\TEMP
2016/05/12 12:00 <DIR> .
2016/05/12 12:00 <DIR> ..
0 File(s) 0 bytes
Total Files Listed:
0 File(s) 0 bytes
2 Dir(s) ?????????? bytes free
So we can do a dir /S command for every directory at the given location, capture its output using a for /F loop, retrieve the line before the last one and extract the size value.
The following pure batch-file script -- let us call it folder_sizes.bat -- does exactly these steps:
#echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions DisableDelayedExpansion
rem // Get provided arguments:
set "FOLDER=%~1"
set "LOG=%~2"
rem // Check provided arguments:
if not defined LOG set "LOG=con"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
>&2 (
if not defined FOLDER (
echo(ERROR: no directory specified!
exit /B 1
) else if not exist "!FOLDER!\" (
rem /* (trailing "\" to check for directory) */
echo(ERROR: directory not found!
exit /B 1
)
)
rem // Process all sub-directories of given directory:
> "!LOG!" (
for /D %%D in ("!FOLDER!\*") do (
for /F "skip=10 tokens=3" %%F in ('
dir /S /-C "%%~fD"
') do (
set "BYTES=!VALUE!"
set "VALUE=%%F"
)
setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
set "ITEM=%%~nxD"
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
rem // Return name and size of sub-directory:
echo(!ITEM! !BYTES!
endlocal
endlocal
)
)
endlocal
endlocal
exit /B
To run this script on a certain directory -- for instance D:\TEMP -- and to write the log data to the file folder_sizes.log in the current directory, use the following command line:
folder_sizes.bat "D:\TEMP" ".\folder_sizes.log"
In the script, delayed expansion is toggled in order to avoid problems with (sub-)directories containing exclamantion marks (!) in their names.
Notice that the output of the dir /S command is language-dependent, so the script might not provide the expected results on systems other than English ones. In such situations, the option string "skip=10 tokens=3" of the for /F loop, particularly the token option, needs to be adapted accordingly.

This code can did the trick :
#echo off
Title Get Size of Folder and its subfolders
set "Folder=C:\temp"
Set Log=Folder_Size.txt
(
echo The size of "%Folder%" is
Call :GetSize "%Folder%"
)> "%Log%"
For /f "delims=" %%a in ('Dir "%Folder%" /AD /b /s') do (
(
echo The size of "%%a" is
Call :GetSize "%%a"
)>> "%Log%"
)
start "" "%Log%"
::***********************************************************************
:GetSize
(
echo wscript.echo GetSize("%~1"^)
echo Function GetSize(MyFolder^)
echo Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"^)
echo Set objFolder= fso.GetFolder(MyFolder^)
echo GetSize = FormatSize(objFolder.Size^)
echo End Function
echo '*******************************************************************
echo 'Function to format a number into typical size scales
echo Function FormatSize(iSize^)
echo aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB"^)
echo For i = 0 to 4
echo If iSize ^> 1024 Then
echo iSize = iSize / 1024
echo Else
echo Exit For
echo End If
echo Next
echo FormatSize = Round(iSize,2^) ^& " " ^& aLabel(i^)
echo End Function
echo '*******************************************************************

Cscript /NoLogo %tmp%\Size.vbs
Del %tmp%\Size.vbs
Exit /b
