*Count
Use
This *Command adds up the sizes of data held in one or more objects that match the given wildcard specification.
Syntax
*Count object_spec [[~]options]
Parameters
| object_spec | Valid (wilcarded) pathname specifying a file or directory | |
| options | Valid options (Upper/lowercase letters, separated by spaces). | Default |
|---|---|---|
| C(onfirm) | Prompt for confirmation of each copy | OFF |
| R(ecurse) | Count subdirectories and contents | ON |
| V(erbose) | Print information on each object copied | OFF |
Notes
Options are taken from the system variable Copy$Options, and those given to the command.
The size of data returned consists of the actual amount of data each object is comprised of, rather than the amount of disc space it occupies.
To turn on a specific option, it must be included in the option list. To ensure a specific option is turned off, then it must be preceded with the tilde symbol (~).
