I'm looking for a way to print (or write to file) the folder tree of my windows PC, including the size of each folder - but not of single files. The output should look like: - My Documents/pictures/selfies/ - 100MB - My Documents/movies/ - 1000MB - My Music/Mozart/ - 300MB ..and so forth
notes: 1) single files can be listed if there's no way around it, but in a way that I can programmatically (i.e. with parsing or regex) remove them from the list later..
2) the aim is to create a hierarchical file like http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/raw/1283663/readme.json so a .json would be best, but not a requirement: I'll parse the text and create a .json file as a second step.
3) this is what I have, but I have no idea on how to convert it to my needs.
@echo off
setlocal disabledelayedexpansion
set "folder=%~1"
if not defined folder set "folder=%cd%"
for /d %%a in ("%folder%\*") do (
set "size=0"
for /f "tokens=3,5" %%b in ('dir /-c /a /w /s "%%~fa\*" 2^>nul ^| findstr /b /c:" "') do if "%%~c"=="" set "size=%%~b"
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo(%%~nxa # !size!
endlocal
)
endlocal
4) I can only work in python and batch scripting on my machine :(
Thanks all AC
Here's the Python (2.7 compatible syntax) script:
import sys
from os import stat, getcwd
from os.path import isdir, isfile, join
from glob import glob
from pprint import pprint
NAME_KEY = "name"
SIZE_KEY = "size"
CHILDREN_KEY = "children"
def _iter_path_w_files(path):
if isfile(path):
return {NAME_KEY: path, SIZE_KEY: stat(path).st_size}
elif isdir(path):
ret = {NAME_KEY: path, CHILDREN_KEY: []}
for child in glob(join(path, "*")):
ret[CHILDREN_KEY].append(_iter_path_w_files(child))
return ret
else: # For readability only
return None
def _iter_path_wo_files(path):
ret = {NAME_KEY: path, SIZE_KEY: 0}
for child in glob(join(path, "*")):
if isfile(child):
ret[SIZE_KEY] += stat(child).st_size
else:
child_ret = _iter_path_wo_files(child)
ret.setdefault(CHILDREN_KEY, []).append(child_ret)
ret[SIZE_KEY] += child_ret[SIZE_KEY]
return ret
def iter_path(path, show_files=True):
if show_files:
return _iter_path_w_files(path)
else:
if isfile(path):
return stat(path).st_size
elif isdir(path):
return _iter_path_wo_files(path)
else: # For readability only
return None
if __name__ == "__main__":
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
path = sys.argv[1]
else:
path = getcwd()
files = False # Toggle this var if you want the files reported or not
d = iter_path(path, files)
pprint(d)
For a directory tree like (numbers next to files, are their sizes):
the outputs would be:
files = False:
{'children': [
{'children': [
{'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\dir000\\dir0000',
'size': 9L
}
],
'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\dir000',
'size': 9L
}
],
'name': 'dir0\\dir00',
'size': 16L
},
{'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir01\\dir010',
'size': 0
}
],
'name': 'dir0\\dir01',
'size': 7L
}
],
'name': 'dir0',
'size': 29L
}
files = True:
{'name': 'dir0',
'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00',
'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\dir000',
'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\dir000\\dir0000',
'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\dir000\\dir0000\\file00000',
'size': 9L
}
]
}
]
},
{'name': 'dir0\\dir00\\file000',
'size': 7L
}
]
},
{'name': 'dir0\\dir01',
'children': [
{'name': 'dir0\\dir01\\dir010',
'children': []
},
{'name': 'dir0\\dir01\\file010',
'size': 7L
}
]
},
{'name': 'dir0\\file00',
'size': 6L
}
]
}
Those are python dictionaries (I formatted them for readability) which are perfectly compatible with json (you can try: json.dumps(d) (where d is a dictionary)).
