Hi,
I've some questions about a practical problem. I've a directory with a lot of files. I want to burn some CD with these files, but how can I maximise the content of each CD, and minimize the total number of CD ? Is there an existing script (nothing found during my search, but...). Is there a good algorithm ? My first thinking are :- number of CD = round up (total size in Mo / 700Mo) - in CD1, I put the largest file if total size of CD1 is < 700Mo or on the following CD; - in CD2, I put the second largest file if total size of CD2 is < 700Mo or on the following CD; - in CD3, I put the third largest file if total size of CD3 is < 700Mo or on the following CD; - in CDn, I put the nth largest file if total size of CDn is < 700Mo or on the following CD; - and I loop on the first CD ! - If there is always files and all my n CD are full, I create a new CD where I put these files. Is there a better algoritm (I guess yes ;)) ? Thanks in advance In reply to How to maximise the content of my data CD by amaguk
