Reply: (edit)I need the size of folders in kb,mb gb...
or just b...
dir doesn't list the size of folders, only files.
for example: on linux I can type
du -h --max-depth=1 /home/js/dir.txt
and that gives me the size of only directories.
I am trying to write a windows batch file to sort folders into groups of <700mb for backing up to cd

Reply: (edit)why batch? if say your are in c, and you want to kno the size of windows, you could run dir c:\windows, although it would not account for folders inside windows.

Reply: (edit)I have a little over 200 gigs of data That I need to back up to CD or DVD depending on size.
Some folders are under 1 meg, and some are over 3gigs. For simplicity, I need to keep from breaking up folders on to multiple CDs. In addition, I need to keep the original location and naming just incase I need to load them back to the server. All of these folders contain linked items so if they are renamed or not in the same directory I would not be able to use them.
I am able to do this easily with Red Hat Linux. But, I would like our staff to be able to do it and they are not familar with linux.
Here is the format I get from Linux:
5m folder1
1.g folder2
I would like to get something similar in windows with either C++, or a batch. Thanks Again for any help!!!
