Title Body

The purpose of the script is the following: Print the number of files recursively found within a directory (omitting folders themselves) Print the total sum file size of the directory Not crash the computer because of massive memory use. So far (3) is the tough part. Here is what I have written and tested so far. This works perfectly well on folders with a hundred or even a thousand files: $hostname=hostname $directory = "foo" $dteCurrentDate = Get-Date –f "yyyy/MM/dd" $FolderItems = Get-ChildItem $directory -recurse $Measurement = $FolderItems | Measure-Object -property length -sum $colitems = $FolderItems | measure-Object -property length -sum "$hostname;{0:N2}" -f ($colitems.sum / 1MB) + "MB;" + $Measurement.count + " files;" + "$dteCurrentDate" On folders with millions of files, however, the $colitems variable becomes so massive from the collection of information of millions of files that it makes the system unstable. Is there a more efficient way to draw and store this information?
