reporting directory info into a spreadsheet
hi,
this *might* be simple: i want to search through my hard drive and report in a spreadsheet, all of the directories into a spreadsheet. in each case in the adjacent column, display the size of the directory (no. of files), next column size of directory (memory). if possible, to include: - - directory to start from (then look at all sub-dirs from there) - display consecutive sub-dirs as indented (eg, top level dir in column A, next in column B etc) if anyone can help with any or all of this, that would be great - although i've used VB quite a bit, i haven't ever done anything like this, so not sure how to start. cheers, tim |
