JSI Tip 9370. How can I display the file name and size of the largest file in a drive or folder?

I have scripted MaxSize.bat to display the fully qualified file name and file size of the largest file in a drive or folder.

The syntax for using MaxSize.bat is:

MaxSize DriveOrFolder \[non-blank for sub-folders\]

Where DriveOrFolder is the drive letter of folder path to search, like C: or C:\folder or "C:\Documents and Settings\Jerry\My Documents", and any non-blank second parameter will cause all sub-folders to be searched.

MaxSize.bat contains:

@echo off
if \{%1\}\{\} @echo Syntax: MaxSize Drive: \[non-blank for sub-folders\]&goto :EOF
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
set /a size=0
set file="NONE"
if not \{%2\}\{\} set sub= /s
pushd %1
set folder=%1
set folder=%folder:"=%
for /f "Tokens=*" %%a in ('dir %1 /b%sub%') do (
 if %%~za GTR !size! set size=%%~za&set file=%%a
)
set work=%file:\=%
if "%work%" EQU "%File%" set file=%folder%\%file%
@echo "%file%" %size%
popd
endlocal
