OverviewExamples

Example 1

Used_Space = Drive.GetUsedSpace("C:\\");

Gets the used disk space on the user's "C:\" drive and stores the result in a variable called "Used_Space."

Example 2

how_much = Drive.GetUsedSpace(Read_Drive);

Takes the variable "Read_Drive" that contains a path with a drive letter and stores the used disk space value in how_much.

Example 3

--Specify which drive will be checked

sDrive = "C:";

 

--Get total size of user's C drive:

nTotalSize = Drive.GetSize(sDrive);

 

-- Determine if an error occurred.

error = Application.GetLastError();

if (error ~= 0) then

   Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

else

   --Get the used space

   nUsedSpace = Drive.GetUsedSpace(sDrive);

   -- Determine if an error occurred.

   error = Application.GetLastError();

   if (error ~= 0) then

       Dialog.Message("Error", _tblErrorMessages[error], MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

   else

       -- Calculate the drive percentage used, and round up

       nPercentageUsed = (nUsedSpace / nTotalSize) * 100;

       nPercentageUsed = Math.Ceil(nPercentageUsed);

       -- Output percentage to the user

       Dialog.Message("","Your drive is "..nPercentageUsed.."% full.");

   end

end

This example determines what percentage of the user's C: drive is currently full of data.
