I've got this script that will read an input file of comma delimited server names, search the servers and determine the specified directory size, and output the result to a csv file. Now my only problem is when the script errors when it can't access a folder due to permissions, it then outputs a size of 0 for that directory. This isn't really correct because the directory might not be empty, it's just that it couldn't be accessed.

What I need to figure out is how to get the script to report "Error" (or something along those lines) in the output, instead of 0. Here is my code:

use File::Find; use strict; my ($dir, @parts); open(IN, "< input.csv") or die("Couldn't open input.csv\n"); open(OUT, "> output.csv") or die("Couldn't open output.csv\n"); @parts=split (/,/,<IN>); #Displays total size of specified path (total includes subfolders) foreach my $dir (@parts) { my $total; print "\nWalking $dir\n"; find(sub { $total += -s }, $dir); $total = ($total / 1024) / 1024; $total = sprintf("%0.2f", $total); print OUT "$dir, $total, mb, \n"; } print "\n\tOutput created.\n"; close(OUT); #Displays program syntax on screen $dir = $ARGV[0];

Here is an example of the contents of the input file:

\\server\share,\\server\different_share,c:\temp
