List All Empty Folders

[Guest Francis]

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

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
