Hello,

I am looking for a script that when placed in a directory gets the amout of total space used by all files in the directory and subdirectories+files. I would like to be able to call this via ssi to display anywhere else on the site.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

How about:

Alex, thanks but I am getting an error - undefined sub &main::find called for this line:

find ($dir, sub { $size += -s $File::Find::name; });

I checked the server and the module File::Find is installed on the server.

Oops, going to have to change require File::Find to use File::Find.

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

Still getting that error:

can't stat : No such file or directory



#!/usr/bin/perl

sub space_used {

use File::Find;

my $dir = shift;

my $size = 0;

File::Find::find (sub { $size += -s $File::Find::name; }, $dir);

return $size;

print "$size heeeeeeelllllllllllllooooooooo\n";

}

&space_used;

exit;



Thanks

You have my $dir = shift but aren't telling the sub which directory to use.

Either do:

space_used('/path/to/dir');

Or manually enter the path as $dir's value.

You don't need exit either.

The code Alex provided was not a standalone script - just a subroutine (function) to incorporate into an existing script. As such, it expects $dir to be passed to space_used (via my $dir = shift; line). So you need to define $dir - either by calling SUB and passing directory, or by defining $dir in the SUB.

You know the saying...

"great minds..."

Hey Paul:

Yep, although some people define my mind more as a grating mind

Well actually I did try to put the path for the directory before i posted my message. It gave me the same error. I will have to try again.

thanks

So Paul,

Who is the great mind, mate?

Is it you, Alex, or me?

What is this in reference to and what does it have to with my question?

Umm..it was related to the fact that dan and I posted almost the exact same answer at the same time

I see!
