Batch Count No Of Folders

  • 1

Hi,

I have been googling for a batch file that can be used to count the number of folders in a given location, for example “h:\”. So far all i can seem to find it ways of counting files but not folders.

Is it possible to count folders? i only need to count root folders and not sub folder, can someone please help?

Thanks,

      Hi nbrane, thats for your time, however the code you have given will only count files and not folders (directories). Here is a solution for those who are interested…..This will count all the root folders (not sub or files) in a given path..

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
      ListDirectories
      End Sub

      Sub ListDirectories()

      Dim folName As String
      Dim folPath As String
      Dim folCounter As Integer
      folCouunter = 0

      folPath = “J:”

      folName = Dir(folPath, vbDirectory)

      Do Until Len(folName) = 0

      If GetAttr(folPath & folName) = vbDirectory Then
      folCounter = folCounter + 1
      End If

      folName = Dir
      Loop

      MsgBox folCounter
      End Sub
