[Solved] get the size of a file (In bytes - MB/Kb )

[Sanjeev 46]

Fellas?

 

I need to get the size of a file (In bytes - MB/Kb ) inside a specific folder.. I realize it can currently only be done via shell commands.

I would be grateful for any help .

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Sample code:

 

set(#file, "c:\\downloads\\dirlist.txt", "Global")
set(#filename, $replace regular expression(#file, ".*\\\\", $nothing), "Global")
shell("cmd.exe /C dir /-C {#file} | find \"{#filename}\"> c:\\downloads\\file-size.txt")
clear list(%dirresult)
add list to list(%dirresult, $list from text($read file("c:\\downloads\\file-size.txt"), " "), "Delete", "Global")
set(#filesize, 0, "Global")
if($comparison($list total(%dirresult), ">", 2)) {
    then {
        set(#filesize, $list item(%dirresult, 3), "Global")
    }
    else {
    }
}

Kevin? You're a Command Line genius!! Thanks a lot man! Couple Of questions if you don't mind?

 

1. where can I start to learn about command line scripting..? any good resources please?

2. why do you do -  if list total is > 2 then set #filesize to list item 3? Why not just set #filesize to list item 3?

 

Thanks a lot Buddy!

Hi,

 

 

1. where can I start to learn about command line scripting..? any good resources please?

I use this site for what commands are available and syntax: http://ss64.com/nt/ I also will use Windows command with /? to provide syntax

I then use search(google/bing) to find code samples.

 

 

 

2. why do you do -  if list total is > 2 then set #filesize to list item 3? Why not just set #filesize to list item 3?

I put the check in just in case the file goes missing while getting file size. Keeps ubot from getting script error on set #filesize to list item 3 when there are 2 or less items in list.

You could also use "shell function" from my free Advanced Shell plugin, which doesn't need txt file to be saved, instead content if written to UBot variable directly. Besides that it will also run cmd window hidden.

 

You can find more info here:

Hi everybody.

Why is this so complicated? Surely there is an easier way to get the size in bytes of a downloaded file?

Is it not built into ubot studio already?

It is not built into Ubot, there are a couple of plugins that do it though, this one is free:

In the end I used FileFolderCommand plugin to get file size.

 

This function gets the file size of the downloaded file and then, displays the file size in the html + also increases the total data downloaded and also converts the bytes to two decimal MB number.

 

Took me around 6 hours to get it working correctly!

define get_file_size(#file_path) {
    set(#this_file_size,$plugin function("FileFolderCommands.dll", "$get file info", #file_path, "Total Size"),"Global")
    set(#total_data_downloaded_bytes,$add(#total_data_downloaded_bytes,#this_file_size),"Global")
    set(#this_file_size_downloaded_mb,$number format($divide(#this_file_size,1048576)),"Global")
    set(#total_data_downloaded_mb,$number format($divide(#total_data_downloaded_bytes,1048576)),"Global")
}

Thank you everyone for helping me.
