dir /totalsize

How do I do a dir on a directory (including it's subdirs) when all I want returned is the total size of that whole structure.

Thanks,
Jim

Here's a SysInternals utility for doing just that.

No need. Look at the /U switch of the DIR command (esp. subcode 2, i.e., DIR
/U2).

dir /a /s /u2 targetdir

or

echo %@filesize[/s targetdir]

Aha! It would be nice if the quick help mentioned the /u subcodes (;) Rex).

No room for them -- that's why there's the full help.

Ah, I see that if you happen to be looking for an accurate subdirectory count, /h should also be used to keep the "." and ".." directories from being counted.
