SpaceObServer.Application.GetInformationByPath

Description

Query file system information about the scanned directory with the passed directory path.
 

Syntax

GetInformation (Path : <String>, InfoType : <String>, UsePlainValues : <Boolean>, [out]NodeData : <OLEVariant>)
 

Parameters

Path

The path to the folder, from which data should be extracted.

InfoType

Defines the kind of requested information about a directory.
The table of the Information Type values lists all accessible information.

UsePlainValues

Indicates, if size units and thousand separator will be included in the export, or if sizes are exported as plain values.
Note: The Decimals property is still taken into account. In order to get plain integer values you have to set Decimals to 0 before.

[out]NodeData

(Out Parameter) The delivered data. This is the place, to define a storing place for the returned data, you wanted to get.

 
Example

PowerShell:

$RootFolderPath = "C:\"
$SOS.GetInformation($RootFolderPath, "Size", $False, $OutParameter)

VBS:

RootFolderPath = "C:\"
SOS.GetInformation RootFolderPath, "Size", False, OutParameter

The call of GetInformationByPath() gathers the size of the current root directory, and returns it in a OLEVariant variable called "OutParameter".
"OutParameter" can be accessed like every other variable of the variant type, and its content can be used for printing.
