Guest Francis Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I have a folder with over 3000 vendor files within that folder. Each vendor files has 10 subfolders, some containing documents and others with no documents; C:\Vendor\Name\ C:\Vendor\Agreement\Confidentiality\ C:\Vendor\Agreement\W-9\ C:\Vendor\Agreement\Time_Log\ How can I perform a search to list all folders within \Vendor that are blank? I have tried a search in Explore but cannot get accurate information.

Before you can perform a search for "blank" folders you need to think about the meaning of "blank". Is it - A folder containing no visible files but perhaps some folders - A folder containing no files but perhaps some folders - A folder containing neither files nor folders
Guest Francis Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Re: List All Empty Folders These would be folders that contain neither files nor folders. They are blank. thank you for responding.

Try this batch file: @echo off set Target=D:\Test Folder echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs CheckFolder("%Target%") echo.>> c:\TempVBS.vbs echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Sub CheckFolder(sName) echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs If oFSO.GetFolder(sName).Files.Count = 0 _ echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs And oFSO.GetFolder(sName).SubFolders.Count = 0 _ echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Then WScript.Echo sName echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs For Each oFolder In oFSO.GetFolder(sname).SubFolders echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs CheckFolder(sName ^& "\" ^& oFolder.Name) echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs Next echo >> c:\TempVBS.vbs End Sub cscript //nologo c:\TempVBS.vbs del c:\TempVBS.vbs
