*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 (~).
