I am trying to create a batch file that will look in a directory, gather all of the subdirectories that contain 'DATA' in the directory name, and then output to a log file the subdirectory names and files and compute the total size of the subdirectories. I also have robocopy which seems to have more features available and is listing each folders size, but I need it to compute the total size of all the folders. To gather the directories that contain data in the name I am using: for /f "tokens=1 delims=," %%i in ('DIR \\Erd-a04alx5678d\Buckeye1\*DATA* /AD /B') do call :docpy %%i goto EOF :docpy Which is working, now I just need to get the size...

you can try out diruse utitlity from the resource tool kit..

Try this: ::== dirsizes.bat @echo off dir c:\temp /s/b/ad | find /i "data" > datadirs for /f "tokens=*" %%D in (datadirs) do call :sub1 %%D goto :eof :sub1 dir /a-d "%*" | find /i "bytes" | find /i /v "free">dirsize set /p size=<dirsize echo %* contains %size% goto :eof :: DONE ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
