in reply to Filesize counting recursive

  1. Please use <code> around your code blocks. *grin*
  2. Glob calls the shell to do its expansion. Thus you will not get a cross platform way of searching for files with it. command.com's "all files" is *.* In unix, that would mean getting all the files with a . in their name which could be less than the total number of files.
A unix version of the code you had before would be
use strict; my $directory = '.'; print "\n\n"; print CountSize($directory); print "\n\n"; sub CountSize { my $directory = shift; $directory .= "/*"; my ($ask, $filesize,$item, $size, @raiz); @raiz = glob($directory); foreach $item (@raiz) { $ask = -d $item; if ($ask) { $size += &CountSize($item); } else { $size += -s $item; } } return($size); }
However, this is not the "right way" to do this. You should be using opendir and readdir.
use strict; my $dir = '.'; print &dir_tree_size($dir) . "\n"; exit 0; sub dir_tree_size { my $dir = shift; my ($i,$total); $total = 0; opendir DIR, $dir; my @files = grep !/^\.\.?$/, readdir DIR; for $i (@files) { if(-d $i) { $total += dir_tree_size($dir . "/$i") } else { $total += -s $i} } return $total; }
Hope this helps.
