Get the Largest file in the current directory

[Raffav]

Hello,

i am new on autoit script

i want to make a script that get the size of a file(the name of it, will be a variable inputed by a parameter) in current running directory (where the script is located) than will check if the size is => ei: 1Gb will pop up msgbox

ie:

scritp.ext namefile "another parameter"

Thanks

sorry for bad engish

Look in the help file for the commands:

_FileListToArray

FileGetSize

MsgBox

Raffav,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

What you want to do is very easy - take a look at the following in the Help file and you should be able to put something together:

@ScriptDir - Where the script is located

_FileListToArray - Get a list of the files in a folder

For..Next - Loop through those files

FileGetSize - Get the size of each file

If...EndIf - Check if the file is > 1Gb

MsgBox - Show the result.

Give it a go and see how you get on - you know where we are if you run into difficulties.

Thanks,

i will post son with some result or no

[searchresult]

Here to start with

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$dirPath = "C:UsersMarkoDesktoptest"
$fileArray = _FileListToArray($dirPath)
$fileSize = 0
$size = 0
$fileName = ""
For $i = 1 to UBound($fileArray) - 1
  
   $fileSize = FileGetSize($fileArray[$i])
  
   If $fileSize > $size Then
  
   $size = $fileSize
   $fileName = $fileArray[$i]
  
   EndIf
  
Next
MsgBox(0, "Largest file", "Largest file is " & $fileName)

searchresult,

I see the "give a man a fish" versus "give a man a net" argument is lost on you.

here what i get and is almost what i want

it is for control the size of the Outlook pst

now i what to when the pst get >= 10GB it pop a gui with the msg saying some text but the windows must have minimize mazimize and X desable so user cant ignore it, need to click ON Exit buttons

If $CMDLINE[0] = 0 Then
    ; parameter needed
    MsgBox(0,"", "parametro necessario")
    Exit
EndIf
;~     Else
Local $size = FileGetSize($CMDLINE[1])
if $size = 0 Then
    ; file not found/insert
    MsgBox(0,"","arquivo não encontrado/informado")

ElseIf $size >= "945804" Then
    ; new pst needed
    MsgBox(0,"","nova pst necessaria "&$size)

ElseIf $size >= "438412" Then
    ; pst near to limit
    MsgBox(0,"","Pst chegando no limite "&$size)

ElseIf $size >= "356087" Then
    ; pst OK
    MsgBox(0,"","PST OK "&$size)
EndIf

Look at the GUICreate style of $WS_POPUP

[Raffav]

Thanks, I will give a look on it.

And later I will ask to change the title name, is no more what I am looking for.

Later with new info/question.

Another, likely very fast, way to peg which file is largest in a directory:

#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sDirectory = @WindowsDir, $sStdOut
$PID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c DIR "' & $sDirectory & '" /B /A-D /O-S', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
While Not @error
    $sStdOut &= StdoutRead($PID)
WEnd
$sStdOut = StringLeft($sStdOut, StringInStr($sStdOut, @CRLF) - 1)
MsgBox(0, $sDirectory, "Largest file: " & $sStdOut)

Edit: Change the "$sStdOut = " statemnet near the end to a StringSplit() and you'd have an array sorted by filesize. You could parse that and only have to call FileGetSize() for those files that meet the minimum filesize requirement (with the exception of the one FileGetSize() call that read the first file below the minimum size, causing an exit from the loop).

Edit2: I suppose avoiding any FileGetSize() calls would be better:

#include <Array.au3> ; for testing
#include <Constants.au3>
Global $sDirectory = @WindowsDir, $iMinSize = 500000, $sStdOut, $iIndex = 0

$PID = Run(@ComSpec & ' /c DIR "' & $sDirectory & '" /A-D /-C /O-S', "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
While Not @error
    $sStdOut &= StdoutRead($PID)
WEnd
$aStdOut = StringSplit($sStdOut, @CRLF)

For $x = 1 To $aStdOut[0] ; pack and (partially) format array
    If StringMid($aStdOut[$x], 3, 1) = "/" Then
        $aStdOut[$x] = StringStripWS($aStdOut[$x], 7)
        $aStdOut[$x] = StringTrimLeft($aStdOut[$x], StringInStr($aStdOut[$x], " ", 2, 3))
        If $aStdOut[$x] < $iMinSize Then ExitLoop
        $iIndex += 1
        $aStdOut[$iIndex] = $aStdOut[$x]
    EndIf
Next
$aStdOut[0] = $iIndex
ReDim $aStdOut[$iIndex + 1]

_ArrayDisplay($aStdOut, "Files > " & $iMinSize) ; for testing

I am guilty sometimes of providing the net, but I've left holes in this, and the OP has posted original code showing he's making the effort

Look at the GUICreate style of $WS_POPUP

sorry but i cant find any reference for $ws_popup in help file

[BrewManNH]

Read the entire sentence.

Step 1 - Read the help file for information about GUICreate

Step 2 - Look at the styles for GUICreate and find $WS_POPUP, there's a hyperlink in the help file under GUICreate for the styles and extended styles for the function.

Yes i already fount it, but i dont know/have success to make the pop up with right conner windows "_ |_| X desable "

[BrewManNH]

The ws_popup style doesn't have those controls on the GUI, so there's no need to disable them. If for some reason you want those controls on the GUI but they are disabled then you're going to have to search for the numerous examples in the forum for that as I can't recall how it's done.

[Raffav]

it will be something like that?

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ###
$Form1 = GUICreate("pst alert", 431, 156,$WS_POPUP)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 16, 409, 97)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 24, 120, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 144, 120, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

e

EDIT1 i down know the name but in the autoitscript Editor has a hot key that organize the scirpt like

ie:

if something then

some string

else

another string

endfi

Hello

i again

and if i want to get the smallest file ? that have extension ".PST"

i try to figured out using this one but i cant understand how it work so i cant change to smallest

#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
$dirPath = "C:UsersMarkoDesktoptest"
$fileArray = _FileListToArray($dirPath)
$fileSize = 0
$size = 0
$fileName = ""
For $i = 1 to UBound($fileArray) - 1
 
   $fileSize = FileGetSize($fileArray[$i])
 
   If $fileSize > $size Then
 
   $size = $fileSize
   $fileName = $fileArray[$i]
 
   EndIf
 
Next
MsgBox(0, "Largest file", "Largest file is " & $fileName)

[Melba23]

Raffav,

Look at the _FileListToArray command in the Help file to see how to limit the returns to only "*.pst" files.

As to the smallest file - you need something like this:

$fileName = ""
$size = 1e10 ; Set a big number to start with
For $i = 1 to UBound($fileArray) - 1

   $fileSize = FileGetSize($fileArray[$i])
   If $fileSize < $size Then ; Now see if this file is even smaller
        $size = $fileSize
        $fileName = $fileArray[$i]
   EndIf
Next
MsgBox(0, "Smallest file", "Smallest file is " & $fileName)

All clear?
