#15 Easy possibilty to find out sizes of directorys

[Anonymous]

There should be a Directory Class or something to find
out not only the size of a file with the help of STAT
but of an entire directory.

Try something like that:

sPath = "/Path/To/My/Directory"
sTemp = TEMP$
' You may have to quote sPath before sending it to a shell
SHELL "(cd " & sPath & "; du -b | tail -n1 > " & sTemp & ")" WAIT
PRINT "Directory size is "; File.Load(sTemp); " bytes"
KILL sTemp
