Support Forums - [Batch] Quick Drive Information Script (Created by AceInfinity)

Pages: 1 2

Here's a quick script I've been working on for the past 20 minutes. It returns drive information (basic) and allows you the option to export it to a text file in the directory that you ran the script.

Looks quite nice Ace, congratulations. See, this is what I like about you. Every second coder knows batch to a certain extent, but I've yet to meet someone who can produce something like this. Well done as usual Ace, now try for a little more detail? Smile

A little more detail on the drive information? There's lots more I could do lol, but it involves lots of checks, as the built in Microsoft files don't seem like they enjoy dealing with non NTFS filesystem formats.

If you want to know more about how i've made this script and how it works, just ask and i'll walk people through it if there is any questions.

Yeah a little more detail on the Drive Info. Like how much memory there is on the drive, and then how much has been used. Also, maybe something like:
GIG
MB
KB

That would require some WMI namespace's to be queried out. But remember, if I was to do something advanced I wouldn't stick with Batch. It's not a powerful language, so you can't expect it to do everything Smile

There's basically all this information that I can add in there, although, again, only on the NTFS formatted drive volumes.

Code:
Volume Serial Number : 0x80d0af2d

Max Component Length : 255

File System Name : NTFS

Supports Case-sensitive filenames

Preserves Case of filenames

Supports Unicode in filenames

Preserves & Enforces ACL's

Supports file-based Compression

Supports Disk Quotas

Supports Sparse files

Supports Reparse Points

Supports Object Identifiers

Supports Encrypted File System

Supports Named Streams

Supports Transactions

Supports Hard Links

Supports Extended Attributes

Supports Open By FileID

Supports USN Journal

What I did earlier for free space, was just basically parsing out data from an output of something like this:

Code:
Total # of free bytes        : 523995136000

Total # of bytes             : 735331741696

Total # of avail free bytes  : 523995136000

Edit: Also that "Max Component Length : 255" is junk. It's the reason why I hate Microsoft Windows NTFS filesystem, as there's many restrictions with that.

Hmm, yeah it would obviously be much easier to do it in something like VB, C++ or C# but I thought you could give it a go in this haha. Would it be too much work, or is it just not possible?

It would be quite interested to see a batch script do that and see how it would handle it.

I'm sure I could get it to work, but every little small feature you add will slow down the overall script as well keep in mind, and batch is slow for most things Smile

Yeah, true. I just thought It'd be quite interesting to see how it would pan out. Tongue

I haven't see a batch script like this before.

I used to do a little batch like 2 years ago, I forgot most of it now though. All that stupid messaging and making it open like 500+ cmd's. xD

EDIT: (Click to View)

If you really want to count out how many times you write it on a line.

Try this though:

Code:
@for /l %%i in (1,1,500) do ( start )

This will run the start command (open a new console) 500 times.

Ahh, I never new that haha. I did like batch, it was fun to use and quite easy too. But like most of the coding languages I've tried so far, I never went back to it. Unsure
