How to determine the size of items of the folderitem?

[Zarir]

I wanted to check the size of the each end every item of the folder. Why I am asking because I am having an item folder and I wanted to track all the items so that I can figure out the growth of the folder. I let you know that I am using RealBasic. Let me know why this particular issue is happening into the situation of mine. Any help on this particular matter will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

As far as I know it is an recursive algorithm. If any of the file is directly pointed by the folderitem then you will be able to track the file really easily. If any of the folder is having loop over the item. You should apply the method with recursively and also it will add up the size. If there is an alias is associated then you need to decide whether you can include any item of not. If don’t want any explicit recursion then you can also go with queue of the folder item.

Well looking at the mater I know something which you should try to fix the matter of yours and see whether it is working or not. I recommend that you should use diruse to get the requirement of yours. you should get the same from the official website. You should download and install the same on the computer of yours. I let you know that it is not standard windows package so you have install explicitly on the system of yours.

In this particular matter I am suggesting following code which you should run on the terminal of yours.

dim f as folderitem=getfolderitem("test")
    
for i as integer = 1 to f.Count
if f.item.directory = false then

msgbox "it's a file"

else

msgbox "it's a folder"

end if

end if

next

Let me know whether any of the above mentioned code worked for you or not. If there is no change in the situation then I recommend you should use the following code and see whether the issue is persisting or not.

sub recursive_folder_search(f as folderitem)
dim i as integer  
for i as integer = 1 to f.Count
  if f.item(i).directory then
    msgbox f.item(i).absolutepath+" it's a folder"
   recursive_folder_search(f.item(i))
  else
        msgbox f.item(i).absolutepath+"  "it's a file"
  end if
next
end sub
