Hi Olaf,

Thanks for that - haven't used filer.dll in years and had almost
forgotten it existed. I'll do some tests.

Cheers,

-Roger

Hi Roger,

Check out filer.dll (ole class "filer.fileutil"). I recently measured,
it's way faster in reading out the files including subfolders than a
recursion with ADIR().

eg a search on "*.mp3" within "C:\" and subfolders finished in
seconds(1-2 minutes), while I canceled the recursion approach,
that didn't return within 15 minutes.

I haven't done elaborate tests though, if eg there is some caching
effect and the routine running second will profit from that and
always be faster.

filer results in a files collection. It may sum up the size by itself,
or you just have to sum up each single files size.

Bye, Olaf.
