How to get folder size in bytes

Hi all,
Is there a easy way to get folder size in bytes? I don't want to check each file in it and then add them up.
Thanks for any help.
Anne

Years ago, I found my home PC was lacking disk space and could not exaplain where all of the space went.
At the same time I was teaching myslef how to use the Picture control and Windows did not allow you to check the size of a folder and it sub-folders. So I used that situation to learn about the picture control and LV at the same time.
It worked and ran but very slowly.
Soon after Greg McKaskle was putting together the first version of "The Good The Bad and The Ugly" and was looking for fodder to beat up. I offered and he accepted. When the time came for the presentation, my code was chosen as "The bad" since I had not learned how to do a cluster sort at that time so I wrote my own version of a bubble sort (the VI presents a Pie Chart of disk usage and clcik on the sectors of the Pie Chart allowed you to drill down so I hd to sort by sizes).
So why am I telling you this long boring story?
That code is attached for you to look at laugh and tell me how dumb I was.
Feel free to beat me up. It can't be any worse than the abuse I got from Greg (I felt like I was being raped).
Have fun!
Ben
Code is probably 6 or thereabouts. "Disk_Utility" is top level. Remember this is an example of how NOT to code.

How to get image size in bytes

i have to get image size in bytes and accessing image from the a folder
Thanks in advance

If it's going to be accessed as a file on the filesystem, you can use java.io.File.length() to get the size in bytes.
In other situations...it depends on what you're doing.

How to get the number of bytes at TCP port

Hi all,
How to get the number of bytes to read at the TCp port...as someone had suggested in some forum we do read the number of bytes first and then pass this...
but we get a problem when we have FF data in this...because then it sends 2 FF data...and cause of this we skip the last data...is there any solution for the same?

Hi
In LabVIEW you don't have the same property as in serail port.
You havn't "Byte at TCPIP port".
if you developp a protocol, one soltion, is to send the size to read.

How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

Hi Firends,
How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
Thanks,
Anderson.

Hi Anderson,
if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
(so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
hth,
kind regards,
Peter

if you use linux
just
cat /proc/meminfo

How to get the size of partition?

The following SQL will get the rows of the fact table & aggregation. But how to get the size (MB) of the partition. select * from $system.discover_partition_stat That should be doable, because in BIDS, we can see the size of a partition, but from which
view we can do that?

This is the best bet you have SELECT * FROM SystemRestrictSchema($system.discover_partition_stat ,DATABASE_NAME = 'Adventure Works DW' ,CUBE_NAME = 'Adventure Works' ,MEASURE_GROUP_NAME = 'Internet Sales' ,PARTITION_NAME = 'Internet_Sales_2003') Refer

How to get the size of a hard disk?

Hi,
As above, how to get the size of a hard disk by using Java.
Thanks you!
Alex

I would be interested in the answer of this question, too.
In core Java there is no way to find it out in a platform independent manner because of the hardware abstraction of the VM. So my only idea is to write a native library for doing this and colling it via JNI

How to get more than 256 bytes data

hello.
I use Schlumberger 32K Card�iJava Card 2.1�j.
Please tell me how to get more than 256 bytes data from the applet in the card!!
According to JCRE specification, need to use Get Response Command.
What is Get Response command?
Do I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet?
Or JCRE processes Get Response command?
If knows, please tell me about!!
Thanks.

Thanks for your response!!
I understand that I have to write processing of Get Response command to an applet.
But case of Schlumberger 32K card, when host send Get Response command to an applet, card reply 6F-00!?
I'm investigating now, and it seems that response is returned before applet processes Get Response command(CLA = 00, INS = C0).
Do JCRE perform the process of Get Response command?

How to get Folder or document service permissions by using KM API's

Hi,
Any help how to get Folder or document service permissions by using KM API's
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Costa.

Hi,
I have tested it here and it works for me (this code lists the service permissions settings for folder /documents/temp/):
 RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents/temp");
 try {
 IUser user = (IUser) request.getUser().getUser();
 IResourceContext context = new ResourceContext(user);
 IResource res = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, context);
 IResourceFactory resourceFactory = ResourceFactory.getInstance();
 IRepositoryServiceFactory serviceFactory = resourceFactory.getServiceFactory();
 IAclService aclService = (IAclService) serviceFactory.getRepositoryService(res, IWcmConst.ACL_SERVICE);
 IResourceAclManager aclResourceManager = aclService.getAclManager();
 IResourceAcl resourceAcl = aclResourceManager.getAcl(res);
 boolean inheritedAcl = false;
 if (resourceAcl == null) {
 resourceAcl = aclResourceManager.getInheritedAcl(res);
 inheritedAcl = true;
 response.write("SERVICE PERMISSION OWNERS ");
 IUMPrincipalList ownerList = resourceAcl.getOwners();
 IUMPrincipalListIterator ownerListIt = ownerList.iterator();
 while (ownerListIt.hasNext()) {
 IUMPrincipal ownerPrincipal = ownerListIt.next();
 String strPrincipal = ownerPrincipal.getId();
 response.write(strPrincipal + " ");
 response.write(" SERVICE PERMISSIONS ");
 IResourceAclEntryList el = resourceAcl.getEntries();
 IResourceAclEntryListIterator it = el.iterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
 IResourceAclEntry entry = it.next();
 String strEntryPerm = entry.getPermission().getDescription();
 String strPrincipal = entry.getPrincipal().getId();
 response.write("" + strEntryPerm + " - principal: " + strPrincipal + " ");
 IAclPermissionList plList = entry.getPermission().getMembers();
 IAclPermissionListIterator plListIterator = plList.iterator();
 while (plListIterator.hasNext()) {
 IAclPermission perm = plListIterator.next();
 response.write(perm.getDescription() + " ");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 response.write(LogWriter.extractCallStack(e));
 LogWriter.traceSevere(LogWrapper.trace, e, LogWriter.extractCallStack(e), true);

How do I get folder sizes?

How can I get the finder to calculate folder sizes?
I've clicked Calculate all sizes in view options.
Even when I ask for info on a particular folder, I get a blank.
It gives the sizes of files but never for folders: just two little dashes
Is this a bug, or is there some extra button I now have to push?

I believe there's a bug in the Finder that will prevent it from calculating folder sizes. I've only run into it a couple times: for example, Size in the Finder's Inspector window always shows -- (which is normal until the Finder calculates the size). In this case, the Finder doesn't calculate the size, but quitting and relaunching the Finder works to restore proper behavior.

How to get the size of a string in bytes

Morning,
I’m trying to get the length in bytes of a string, the characters below are 3 byte UTF-8, but when I display
The length of either int, looks like is double I got 120 and I think it should be 60. Any idea
String requiredMsg = "όόόόόόόόόόόόόόόόόόόό";
int byteCountUTF8 = requiredMsg.getBytes("UTF-8").length;
int byteCountUTF8 = requiredMsg.getBytes().length;
thanks

OK, it is not 'o with acute', but rather 'Greek small omicron with tonos'.
This page may help you sort it out:http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3cc/index.htm.
According to the page and to my tests, this Unicode 03CC has a 2 bytes (not 3) UTF-8 representation.
String requiredMsg = "\u03CC";
System.out.println(requiredMsg.getBytes("UTF-16").length);
System.out.println(requiredMsg.getBytes("UTF-8").length);
System.out.println(requiredMsg.getBytes().length); // In WindowsResult on my machine:
4
