Count all files in a directory tree including subdirectories in Windows XP

[!const]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with is counting all the files in a directory (and subdorectoies), and excluding the directories themselves. I need your help on DOS batch program- DOS batch file to count number of files on a directory, directories and subdirectories and files within subdirectories or a quick and simple way to do the scanning through all subdirectories finding each file.

Xcopy is a command used on Microsoft Windows operating system for copying multiple files or entire directory trees from one directory to another and for copying files across a network. XCOPY has many different parameters that you can utilize. You can see a full list here.

You can use the DirectoryInfo and FileInfo Class to get all the Files.

Here is a sample code to achieve this:

Code Snippet
using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;
using System.IO;

 

namespace GetAllFiles

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

//Counter for the Number of Files

int Count = 0;

 

//Directory to be Searched

string dir = @"C:\GetFiles";


DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(dir);

 

//Get the Files in the Current Directory

FileInfo[] fInfo = dirInfo.GetFiles();

foreach (FileInfo f in fInfo)

{

Count++;

Console.WriteLine(f.FullName);

}

 


//Get the Files in the SubDirectories

Program p = new Program();

p.GetDirFiles(dirInfo, ref Count);

 

Console.WriteLine("Total Number of Files:" + Count);

}

 

private void GetDirFiles(DirectoryInfo dInfo, ref int Count)

{ 

DirectoryInfo[] subDirInfo = dInfo.GetDirectories();

foreach (DirectoryInfo sDir in subDirInfo)

{

FileInfo[] fSubInfo = sDir.GetFiles();

foreach (FileInfo f in fSubInfo)

{

Count++;

Console.WriteLine(f.FullName);

}

GetDirFiles(sDir,ref Count);

} 

}

}

}

Hope it helps.

In order to view all of the directories and subdirectories on a hard drive, just type cd\ to the root of your drive and then the tree command is executed. Or else, only type the cd\subdirectories name and then the tree command is displayed.
