The Tao of Jace

So another JScript today that will spit out a comma separated text file listing all the subfolders for a given path and their size.

// folder_size.js - This script generates a csv file with the name
//	and size of subfolders for a designated folder.

var cTITLE = "Folder Size";

var folderPath = "W:\\"; // This is the root folder - CHANGE THIS

try {
	var fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
	var objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell");
	var outputPath = objShell.SpecialFolders.Item("Desktop") + "\\" + cTITLE + ".txt"; // THIS IS WHERE YOUR OUTPUT FILE GOES
	var folder = fso.GetFolder(folderPath);
	var subFolders = new Enumerator(folder.SubFolders)

	var fso, f1, ts;
	var ForWriting = 2;
	fso.CreateTextFile(outputPath);
	var file = fso.GetFile(outputPath);
	var output = file.OpenAsTextStream(ForWriting, true);

	output.WriteLine("Path,Size (bytes)");

	for (;!subFolders.atEnd(); subFolders.moveNext())
	{
		output.WriteLine(subFolders.item() + "," + subFolders.item().size);
	}
	output.Close();
}
catch(e) {
	msgbox("Error " +  e.number + "\n\n" + e.description, null, null, 16);
}

function msgbox(message, title, popupTime, nType) {
	if(title == null) {
		title = "Dawson Scripting: " + cTITLE + " - Folder Size Report Generator";
	}
	if(popupTime == null) {
		popupTime = 0;
	}
	var objWSH = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell");
	return objWSH.Popup(message, popupTime, title, nType);
}

I’m having to move a Home Folders folder from one server to another and I’m wanting to move the smallest first. This let me get a csv that I could manipulate in Excel and now I’m off to start the migration.
