each folder can support ? files

Hello,

And suggest if Windows XP; {HarddiskFAT32)} OR {USB1.1 ; USB Flash-Drive} /

That Device ; Each Folder can support (how many files)

And that filename, if unicode/utf8 format,

Can use "CMD.exe" Copy(), do completed?


Because I need Each Folder (include 500,000 files)
but I no sure is success or failed?

 

Hi visee.

XP may support 500,000 files in one folder, but I wouldn't try this. You may "break" the file system.

Find another way to organize 500,000 sets of information - don't use separate files. Use a database, perhaps, or find a way to combine many files into one large one.

 

Hi, I selected FAT32, but my computer is PII 233MHz, 128RAM, Wxp , SP2, pro

I use VisualBasic to make 65000 files


For i = 1 TO 65000
Print i
Next i


is oke ? (I mean if ONE batch to make 65000 files, system is support ? harddisk-FAT32 is no problem...?



Or Any system hang ??


But If over 65535 , FAT32 is can't completed? or LOCK-System ?

For i = 1 TO 70000
Print i
Next i

?


And if "Folder" include 60000 files .

Type DIR *.* Or
Copy that 60000 files to other drive copy C:\65000files\*.* D:\65000files\
is very very long time to completed or hang computer? ?



Finial my problem is crazy?


And if only FAT , each folder can support ? files . Please!

 

Hi visee.
The Basic code that you show does not create 65,000 files! It merely prints the value of the loop counter that many times. There is no limit to how much can be printed to the screen.
