Blitz Basic: Retrieving volume info?

[motorollin]

Hi all

I'm trying to find a way of retrieving a list of currently mounted volumes, and also finding out the amount of data in bytes on a volume. Can anyone give me a hint to the correct Blitz2 functions?

Thanks

Check out DosElmoreLib22.lha on Aminet.

GetAssigns(2) and DiskUsed look like exactly what I need. Thanks! I'm not too familiar with Blitz (yet) so can I just run my code by you first? Normally I would just try it but I don't want to experiment with routines which do things to disks :-)


If GetAssigns(2)
-Repeat
--a$=Assign$
--If a$
---Analyze a$
---used$=DiskUsed
---NPrint a$ used$
--EndIf
-Until a$=""
EndIf

Added some white "-"s because HTML rendered out the indenting spaces :roll:

This may be a stupid question, but how do I include the .obj file in my Blitz application so I can call its functions?

Ok I found BlitzLibMan on Aminet which recompiled the deflibs including the new .obj I downloaded. The programme now runs, but it returns incorrect values for DiskUsed. Two of the three volumes reported negative values and the other reported a value which was far to small. Any thoughts?

Are they >4GB?  Maybe it has a problem with large volumes?

[motorollin]

Yes the one which returns incorrect values is >4GB. Piru has suggested in another thread that I call dos.library's info() function directly. No idea how tho :roll:
