Solved: Batch file to give me directory disk sizes

[vince43]

I'm trying to create a batch file that will give me the size of a list of directories. I'm not interested in the sizes of folders within the list of directories just the top level directory sizes, if that makes sense.
For example, I want to be able to work out the size of the user profiles on a machine, so if there were 5 users, I want to work out the size of those 5 top level profile directories.

you can use diruse

So what you need is the last line of the Dir /s output, the Total Files Listed: info.
The following uses a subroutine, so you can call it repeatedly from within a batch file:

@Echo Off
Call :_TotalSize "C:\Documents and Settings\TheOutcaste\"
Call :_TotalSize "C:\Documents and Settings\User2\"
Call :_TotalSize "%appdata%"
Goto :EOF
:_TotalSize
Set _size=0
For /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%I In ('Dir "%~1" /a-d /S ^|Find /I "file(s)"') Do Set _size=%%I
Echo The %1 tree is %_size% Bytes total
Goto :EOF

For a quick standalone, use just:

@Echo Off
Set _size=0
For /F "tokens=3 delims= " %%I In ('Dir "%~1" /a-d /S ^|Find /I "file(s)"') Do Set _size=%%I
Echo The %1 tree is %_size% Bytes total

use filename "pathtocheck" -- pathtocheck must be in quotes, even if you are using a variable like %userprofile% or %appdata%

Does the same as DIRUSE, but you don't have to download it
