I have to make list about how much user has used space in common "\\server\user" directory.

Every user have unique private directory structure, like
\\server\user\user1\
\\server\user\user2\
\\server\user\user3\ and etc.

Result would be like:
user1 used space: 386116234 bytes
user2 used space: 331232141 bytes
user1 used space: 4523512 bytes

Would some specialist help me modify below scipt, in current version I must specify what dir im calculating:
******
break on cls
$tempfile = "c:\temp\kix.tmp"
$dir = "c:\"
if exist("$dir") = 1
? "Reading $dir...... Please wait."
shell '%comspec% /c diruse "$dir" | find /i " total" > $tempfile'
$nul = open(1,$tempfile,2)
$data = readline(1)
$dirsize = ltrim(substr($data,1,13))
? 'The size of "$dir" = $dirsize bytes'
else
? "can't find $dir"
exit
endif
******

Thank you for your help

i am not sure exactly what you mean, but if we take a look at the possibilties of diruse :

code:

---

 
C:\WINNT>diruse
DIRUSE displays a list of disk usage for a directory tree(s). Version 1.20
DIRUSE [/S | /V] [/M | /K | /B] [/C] [/,] [/Q:# [/L] [/A] [/D] [/O]] [/*] DIRS
/S      Specifies whether subdirectories are included in the output.
/V      Output progress reports while scanning subdirectories.  Ignored if /S is
 specified.
/M      Displays disk usage in megabytes.
/K      Displays disk usage in kilobytes.
/B      Displays disk usage in bytes (default).
/C      Use Compressed size instead of apparent size.
/,      Use thousand separator when displaying sizes.
/L      Output overflows to logfile .\DIRUSE.LOG.
/*      Uses the top-level directories residing in the specified DIRS
/Q:#    Mark directories that exceed the specified size (#) with a "!".
        (If /M or /K is not specified, then bytes is assumed.)
/A      Specifies that an alert is generated if specified sizes are exceeded.
        (The Alerter service must be running.)
/D      Displays only directories that exceed specified sizes.
/O      Specifies that subdirectories are not checked for specified size
        overflow.
DIRS    Specifies a list of the paths to check.
Note:   Parameters can be typed in any order. And the '-' symbol can be
        used in place of the '/' symbol.
        Also, if /Q is specified, then return code is ONE if any directories are
 found that
        exceed the specified sizes.  Otherwise the return code is ZERO.
Example: diruse /s /m /q:1.5 /l /* c:\users

That means that you could issue the command with the correct params, and get a report in which you will find nice subtotals. the trick is /* i think.

i just tested on our userdir and it seemed to work just fine. all you need to do is fetch all the lines with "SUB-TOTAL" in them and grab the dirname and size from them.

with the /q option you could even set a limit, giving it a report with all dirs exceeding this limit.

dunno if it helped, if you need a sample script,pls tell me.

Your tip was perfect. DIRUSE works fine for that purpose.

Thanks
