Hi Don, Something is funky here. It sounds like your in a situation such that it can't write the file[s]. I can't imagine you're on a write protected floppy. Look in the directory and see if oldlist and newlist are there. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

The files are there. And as the earlier post it is working. One issue though it looks to be hung. I started the batch agains my XP pro system C drive and it reported that the oldlist was new which is correct but it is still running 20 Min later. ???? The batch is working but I think it hung. I also need to email the results to a POP email account... Thanks Hello from WSU

Hi Don, I think it will require doing one directory at a time. I'm still at it. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Unfortunatly that will kill my chances I need it to do the entire volume. Thanks Hello from WSU

It will do an entire vol. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Im confused you said one directory at a time then you said an entire volume. Did you get the proccess to work against a large volume ? Hello from WSU

Just for information of the Scope we will be dealing with the following and it will grow 104 GB (111,816,606,041 bytes) 1,306,545 Files, 1879 Folders Hello from WSU

How about using Perl instead of the batch file? This will print all files names in the volume where the size is greater than 100000 (which is not very big, so you'll have lots of files). It doesn't include the emailing, but that is easy to add. #!perl use strict; use File::Find; my $vol = 'c:'; my @path = '/'; find(sub{print $vol,$File::Find::name,$/ if -f and -s > 100000;}, @path);

I was just about to say, before that perl popped in, that the batch is far from complete. Worse yet, it takes everal minutes to do just a few dozen directories. I think I better drop thios one like a hot french fry and you better go with the perl. Good luck If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
