Help with changing some code

Hi guys
I'm trying to change the following code to suit my needs and was wondering could someone help.
Instead of getting the size of just one file I want to set up an array and get the size of a range of files. Then I want to compare this with another array. Does ayone know how to do this.

Thanks
JK

Code:

---

'code by Sam Hugill from VBSquare
Function FileSize(File As String) As String
Dim LSize As String
If File = "" Then
FileSize = ""
Exit Function
End If
LSize = FileLen(File)
FileSize = LSize 'Size in bytes
End Function

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox FileSize("c:\windows\explorer.exe")
End Sub

---

Here is an example:

Code:

---

Private Type File_Info
    sFileName As String
    lFileSize As Long
End Type

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim sFolder1 As String
    Dim sFolder2 As String
   
    Dim sFile As String
   
    Dim lCounter1 As Long
    Dim lCounter2 As Long
   
    Dim fiArray1() As File_Info
    Dim fiArray2() As File_Info
    ReDim fiArray1(0)
    ReDim fiArray2(0)
   
    sFolder1 = "C:\Folder1\"
    sFolder2 = "C:\Folder2\"
   
    'Read Contentents of Folder
    sFile = Dir(sFolder1 & "*.*")
    Do Until sFile = ""
        'Add File Info to the array
        fiArray1(UBound(fiArray1)).sFileName = sFile
        fiArray1(UBound(fiArray1)).lFileSize = FileLen(sFolder1 & sFile)
        'Expand the array for the next item
        ReDim Preserve fiArray1(UBound(fiArray1) + 1)
        sFile = Dir
    Loop
   
    'Remove the last item cause its empty
    If UBound(fiArray1) > 0 Then
        ReDim Preserve fiArray1(UBound(fiArray1) - 1)
    End If
   
   
   
    'Read Contentents of Folder
    sFile = Dir(sFolder2 & "*.*")
    Do Until sFile = ""
        'Add File Info to the array
        fiArray2(UBound(fiArray2)).sFileName = sFile
        fiArray2(UBound(fiArray2)).lFileSize = FileLen(sFolder2 & sFile)
        'Expand the array for the next item
        ReDim Preserve fiArray2(UBound(fiArray2) + 1)
        sFile = Dir
    Loop
   
    'Remove the last item cause its empty
    If UBound(fiArray2) > 0 Then
        ReDim Preserve fiArray1(UBound(fiArray2) - 1)
    End If
   
    If UBound(fiArray1) > 0 And UBound(fiArray2) > 0 Then
        'Start Compare
        For lCounter1 = LBound(fiArray1) To UBound(fiArray1)
            For lCounter2 = LBound(fiArray2) To UBound(fiArray2)
                If fiArray1(lCounter1).lFileSize = fiArray2(lCounter2).lFileSize Then
                    Debug.Print fiArray1(lCounter1).sFileName & " has the same size as " & fiArray2(lCounter2).sFileName
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End If
End Sub

hi Azzmodan
thanks a lot buddy.

Hi
I just tried to use the code and got an error message: User Defined type not defined. And it points to

Code:

---

    Dim fiArray1() As File_Info

---

Any ideas what this means??
Thanks again

It means you forgot to incluse the:
Private Type File_Info
sFileName As String
lFileSize As Long
End Type


In the declaration section fo your form

Code:

---

'>Declaration section
Option Explicit
Private Type File_Info
    sFileName As String
    lFileSize As Long
End Type

'>Start of code
Sub Form_Load()
'blablabla
End Sub

---

Thanks a lot for that I wasn't paying attention. In the last section I tried to add a MsgBox just to see that the code ran through.

Code:

---


    If UBound(fiArray1) > 0 And UBound(fiArray2) > 0 Then
        'Start Compare
        For lCounter1 = LBound(fiArray1) To UBound(fiArray1)
            For lCounter2 = LBound(fiArray2) To UBound(fiArray2)
                If fiArray1(lCounter1).lFileSize = fiArray2(lCounter2).lFileSize Then
MsgBox "This passed ok"
                    Debug.Print fiArray1(lCounter1).sFileName & " has the same size as " & fiArray2(lCounter2).sFileName
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End If
End Sub

But the message box won't appear for me. Sorry in advance if it's a stupid question. Thanks
JK

If the messagebox doesn't appear it most like is because none of the files in the 1st folder have the same size as those in the 2nd folder.

It only prints stuff when 2 files have exactly the same size.
