Hello,
I am currently writing a basic program to calculate and display the size of
folders with a drive/directory. To do this I am storing each directory in a
dict as the key, with the value being the sum of the size of all files in
that directories (but not directories).
For example:
{ "C:\\docs" : 10, "C:\\docs123" : 200, "C:\\docs\\code\\snippets" : 5,
"C:\\docs\\code" : 20, "C:\\docs\\pics" : 200, "C:\\docs\\code\\python" :
10 }
Then to return the total size of a directory I am searching for a string in
the key:
For example:
for "C:\\docs\\code" in key:
Which works fine and will return "C:\\docs\\code" : 20,
"C:\\docs\\code\\snippets" : 5, "C:\\docs\\code\\python" : 10 = (35)
However it fails when I try to calculate the size of a directory such as
"C:\\docs", as it also returns "C:\\docs123".
I'd be very grateful if anyone could offer any advice on how to correct
this.
