ExportPath

The full path of the export file (including the exported file name). You can use environment variables as well as “%DATE%” and “%TIME%” in the file path.

ExportFullBranch

Indicates if the export will include the full directory branch or only expanded directories.

IncludeHeader

Indicates if a header with general information about the root directory/drive will be included.

IncludeUnit

Example

# PowerShell
$SOS.TextExport("C:\Temp\SOS\textexport.txt", $True, $False, $True, $True)

' VBS
SOS.TextExport "C:\Temp\SOS\textexport.txt", True, False, True, True

Produces a report exported to a plain text file named “textexport.txt”, stored at “C:TempSOS", with a fully expanded directory, including size units but no header. If a file of this name already exists, the new report will be appended to the existing file content.
