My goal is to figure out how much space all images on my network drives are taking up.
So my command to retrieve a list of all images is this:
Get-ChildItem -recurse -include *jpg,*bmp,*png \\server01\folder
Then I would like to just retrieve the file size (Length
).
Get-ChildItem -recurse -include *jpg,*bmp,*png \\server01\folder | Select-Object -property Length
Now this outputs:
Length
------
85554
54841
87129
843314
I don't know why it is aligned to the right, but I want to grab each length and add them all together. I am lost and have tried every thing I know (which isn't much since I am new to PS), tried searching Google but couldn't find any relevant results.
Any help or alternative methods are appreciated!
Use the Measure-Object
cmdlet:
$files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *jpg,*bmp,*png \\server01\folder
$totalSize = ($files | Measure-Object -Sum Length).Sum
To get the size in GB divide the value by 1GB
:
$totalSize = ($files | Measure-Object -Sum Length).Sum / 1GB
