Metadata fields in Acrobat

[daxdefranco]

this is my first post, and for some people, i’m sure this is a “stupid question” but does anyone know how to write an applescript that will turn out a result that displays the amount of free space on my hard drive?

it’s for a project i’m trying to do…but to little avail

thanks a lot [/i][/u]

This script will return the amount of space available on your startup disk, though you could specify some other disk, the Finder can return the “free space” property of any disk. The rest of the script is a routine for converting the raw bytes into a readable number with the appropriate units:

–Open this script in a new Script Editor window.

property base_file_size : 1024 –some would use 1000

tell application “Finder” to set free_space to free space of startup disk
return my [color=green]get_file_size/color

on [color=green]get_file_size/color
if the_size > (base_file_size ^ 4) then
set {div_1, the_unit} to {(base_file_size ^ 4), “TB”}
else if the_size is greater than or equal to (base_file_size ^ 3) then
set {div_1, the_unit} to {(base_file_size ^ 3), “GB”}
else if the_size is greater than or equal to (base_file_size ^ 2) then
set {div_1, the_unit} to {(base_file_size ^ 2), “MB”}
else if the_size is greater than or equal to base_file_size then
set {div_1, the_unit} to {base_file_size, “KB”}
else
set {div_1, the_unit} to {1, “B”}
end if
set the_size to (((the_size div div_1) & “.” & ((the_size mod div_1) div (div_1 / 10)) as string) as real) as string
if the_size ends with “.0” then set the_size to (text 1 thru -3 of the_size)
return (the_size & " " & the_unit as string)
end get_file_size
