China DOS Union

The operating system is WinXP. I want to realize the function of displaying the remaining disk space without using third-party software. I've been lurking for several days and wrote the following code. Please help me.
@echo off
rem There are problems
rem
rem 1、How to convert the number of bytes into a number in MB unit?
rem
rem 2、How to not generate temporary files?
color 1f
title Display remaining space on drive C
del size.txt>nul 2>nul
dir /-c c:\|find "Available bytes">size.txt
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in (size.txt) do echo There is %%a bytes of remaining space on drive C
del size.txt>nul 2>nul
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo Press any key to exit
pause>nul

　　Now a perfect solution has been found. Please see the code:
@echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion :Main cls set /a num2=1024*1024 for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do ( if exist %%i:\ ( set num3_str= set num4= for /f "tokens=3" %%j in ('dir /-c %%i:\') do set num1=%%j if not "!num1!"=="0" ( call :loop for /f "delims=0 tokens=*" %%k in ("!num3_str!") do set num3_str=%%k echo. echo The remaining space on drive %%i is !num3_str! MB echo. ) ) ) ) pause goto Main :loop :: Find quotient set /a num3=%num4%%num1:~0,1%/%num2% :: Quotient sequence set num3_str=%num3_str%%num3% :: Find remainder set /a num4=%num4%%num1:~0,1%%%%num2% if %num4% equ 0 set num4= set num1=%num1:~1% if not "%num1%"=="" goto loop goto :eof

Use:

set /a freesize=%%a/1048576

To calculate MB, freesize will hold the number in MB units.

The method without generating temporary files may be a bit crude. Try this:
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir /-c c:\') do set /a freesize=%%a/1048576

Since the line you need is in the last line, although this seems a bit tedious, it does meet the need.

@echo off
echo Drive Letter Free Space Partition Size
wmic logicaldisk where caption="c:" get size,freespace,caption | findstr /v /i "caption"
pause>nul

What is wmic?

试了一下,提示说找不到操作数,不知何故.

(Tried it, and it said "operand not found", don't know why.)

### Re Climbing:

The WMI Command Line provides a simple command-line interface to the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMIC offers a simple interface to WMI, enabling management of computers running Microsoft Windows using WMI. WMIC interoperates with existing command-line programs and utility commands, and is easily extensible via scripts or other management-oriented applications.

WMIC allows the following operations:

Typically use "aliases" that make WMI more intuitive to browse WMI schemas and query their classes and instances.
Use local computers, remote computers, or multiple computers in a single command.
Customize aliases and output in the desired format.
Create and execute WMIC-based scripts.

WMI providers allow WMI to manage a wide range of hardware components, operating system subsystems, and application systems. WMIC can be used with all schemas executed by these WMI providers.

WMIC can be used to remotely manage any computer with WMI on any computer where WMIC is enabled. For WMIC, there is no need for it to be available on the remotely managed computer in order to manage that remotely managed computer.

Scenarios
The following typical scenarios make tasks easy to perform using WMIC:
Local management of a computer—Use WMIC commands to manage a local computer.
Remote management of a computer—Use WMIC to manage another computer.
Remote management of multiple computers—Use WMIC on one computer to manage multiple computers in a single command.
Remote management of a computer (using a remote session)—Use remote session technologies such as Telnet or Terminal Services to connect to a remote computer and manage it using WMIC.
Automated management using management scripts—Use WMIC to write simple management scripts to automate management of computers (local, remote, or multiple computers—sequentially or simultaneously).
Aliases
When using WMIC through an intermediate helper called an "alias," the WMI structure is accessible. Aliases are used to capture characteristics of WMI levels associated with some specific tasks (such as disk or network management). Aliases can be used to provide better names for WMI classes, properties, and methods, or to arrange properties in a useful output format. The output format can include specific property values or be formatted in a way appropriate for a particular representation policy or function. For example, an alias might have a "BRIEF" format that lists only the basic property values that can identify a visualized object via the alias. Retrieve management data in XML format, and that data is processed via built-in or custom XSL output formats.

### Re namejm:

Need to use find to filter out text lines that are not file sizes

for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir /-c c:\^|find "Available bytes"') do set /a freesize=%%a/1048576

Hmm, I’ve learned something.

I tried running this code and used echo %freesize% to display the result, but it turned out to be a negative number, which was quite surprising. For example, my C drive is 2305712128 bytes, but the result showed -1897. Could it be that the CMD has gone crazy?

Re namejm:

CMD is not deranged, it's because the integer processed by set is too large. set stores integers in two bytes, with a 32-bit storage range limit, that is, its processing range is 2^-31~2^31-1, and your disk space exceeds this range and overflows.

I don't have a very good solution for this, only an approximate algorithm of discarding the last three digits and then dividing by 1049.

for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir /-c c:\^|find "Available bytes"') do set freesize=%%a
set /a freesize=%freesize:~0,-3%/1049>nul
echo Freesize:%freesize%

Thanks to the moderator's detailed explanation. It seems I can only use a somewhat approximate number.

The `for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('dir /-c c:\^|find "可用字节"') do set freesize=%%a` This sentence I can't execute, I don't know why I added the ^ leading character, please everyone test it. Mine is 2000, it didn't execute successfully, so I switched to other methods to get the result.........

XP, SP2 is normal.
Try for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('"dir /-c c:\ | find "Available bytes""') do set freesize=%%a
Use ^ to escape, otherwise it will execute dir /-c c:\ find "Available bytes"

Can you detect the remaining disk space under DOS?

Why can't the following method get the correct result when you want to query the remaining space size of all existing disk partitions?

for %%a in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do @(
if exist %%a:\recycler\nul (
for /f "tokens=3" %%b in ('dir /-c %%a:\^|find "可用字节"') do set freesize=%%b
set /a freesize=%freesize:~0,-3%/1049>nul
echo %% a 盘剩余空间:%freesize% MB
)

Yes. See: How to detect the free space of a partition
