Available space on Drive

[LazyCoder]

I'm trying to find the amount of free space on the harddisk, and once again, I can't figure out how to work the sphax kernel object. Isn't there any documentation for it???

Try C:\Program Files\Multimedia Fusion 2\Examples\Sphax Kernel\DiskSpace.mfa or similar.

[LazyCoder]

Ok... what is that number that it gives you??? Is there anyway to get it in kilobytes or megabytes or something?

[neat_Kliker2]

if it is in bytes, divide by 1024 to give you KB, divide that by 1024 to give you MB and so on

But I have no idea what it's in. It says something like 3.91303e+010 Is that just a different way of saying 3.91303x10^10 ?

[Dynasoft]

Yes.

And that number (3.91303e+010/1024/1024/1024) comes out at around 39GB.

EDIT: It's not a perfectly accurate number, because MMF is 32-bit and you can only represent up to 2GB accurately with 32 bits.

Yes.

100E+5 = 100x10^5 = 10,000,000.
100E-5 = 100x-10^5 = -10,000,000.

[Dynasoft]

100E-5 = 100x-10^5 = 0.001

[Joshtek]

100E-5 = 100x-10^5 = 0.001

That's what I get for trying to do maths after midnight :P .

100E-5 = 100x10^-5 = 0.001

I'll just use that extension for 64 bit numbers.
