[Solved] es - Query size of a single folder only?

[oO0XX0Oo]

Hi,

es = v1.1.0.26
Everything = 1.5.0.1355a

Folder sizes are indexed
I'd like to use

es

to only the the folder size of a specific folder, not all of its subfolders as well

es.exe -size -sizeformat 1 folder:"D:\Temp" -csv -no-header

This comes close to what I want

*

but it reports all subfolders of

D:\Temp

as well
Using -n 1 doesn't work, it would list the first subfolder as well

*

The best possible output for me would be:

16972109|D:\Temp

while I currently get

Code: Select all

645727,"D:\Temp\Archives [pw & no pw]"
16972109,"D:\Temp"

so I have two additional questions:
01. Is it somehow possible to set a different separator character other than "," when using -csv (or something else?) directly on the command line?
02. Is it possible for es.exe to leave out the quoting of the foldername?

Thanks!

-csv will show results in Comma Separated Values (hence the name). -tsv is an option too (Tab Separated Values).

To get to the 16972109|D:\Temp format, you will need to do some post-processing yourself.

Thank you NotNull!

I'll do the post-processing on my own then (-tsv won't really make the output more parsable)

only the the folder size of a specific folder, not all of its subfolders as well

It appears that

es -size exact:folder:c:/tmp

does include subdirectories in its' size calculation.


Gives an interesting

es exact:folder:"c:/*" -size

output.
I'll note that a "larger" directory tree (> 99,999,999,999 bytes) throws off "layout".

Not here:

Code: Select all

T:\>where es
C:\Tools\es.exe

T:\>es -version
1.1.0.26

T:\>es -get-everything-version
1.5.0.1355

T:\>es -size exact:folder:c:/temp
   908,413,938 C:\Temp

T:\>es -size exact:folder:c:\temp
   908,413,938 C:\Temp

T:\>

(Win11 btw)

[therube]

You do have subdirectories (with files taking up space) within c:/temp ?

Oh, I misunderstood ...

Thought your ouput was like:
100 c:\folder
25 c:\folder\sub1
50 c:\folder\sub2


And yes, my C:\temp has subfolders and the size reported by Everything corresponds with the size reported by Windows (see below)
No idea why your Everything reports a larger size than NDIR. What size is reported by Explorer in your case?

NDIR is (basically) an old DOS program.
And why its' subdirectory totals are so far different, not sure, particularly?
Maybe +H +S files or whatnot are not included by default?

Anyhow, diruse does come up with the same size (+/-, [some things may have been created/deleted in c:/tmp...]) as Everything.

And yes, my C:\temp has subfolders and the size reported by Everything corresponds with the size reported by Windows (see below)

And aren't they displaying the cumulative size of c:/temp + all subdirectories of c:/temp?


In my case, c:/tmp - no subdirectories, is using 14 MB, with subdirectories, 60 GB (which Windows Explorer also shows).
OP was looking for the particular directory size itself - exclusive of subdirectories.

Didn't sound like this to me, but might have misinterpreted this one too.

Anyway, that requires a diffrent approach. To get the size of all files that have c:\temp as their direct parent:
(requires Everything 1.5)

Code: Select all

T:\>es.exe c:\temp\* -get-total-size
813704351

[therube]

\*

Yes, that's got (by George), & yes \* is required to get total size .

Code: Select all

C:\TMP\BRU>es c:/tmp/* -get-total-size
14533060
