Vista Tutorial - stoopid newb question

ok so I have the following - all on one line.

ls c:\ -rec | where {$_.mode -like "d*"} | foreach
{$di.getfolder($_.fullname).size/1024/1024}

$di = fso
the above line returns the folder size correctly but I can't seem to find a
way to output both the fullname and the size, any help would be appreciated!
tr

this would work

PS> ls c:\ -rec | where{$_.mode -like "d*"} | foreach{ $size =
$di.getfolder($_.fullname).size/1mb; Write-Host $_.fullname $size }

$objFSO = New-Object -com scripting.filesystemobject
$dirs = ls c:\ -rec | where { $_.PSIsContainer } # Another way to get
the directories
$dirs | % { "$($_.fullname) $($objFSO.getfolder($_).size/1024/1024)" }

I imagine there's prettier ways to do this.

this gives a prettier output

ls c:\ -rec | where{$_.mode -like "d*"} | foreach{ $size =
$di.getfolder($_.fullname).size/1mb; "{0,9} {1,2} " -f $size, $_.fullname }

And here's a link about the format operator "-f".

(I'm still trying to grok this one myself.)

BTW I would recommend using the PSIsContainer property to filter out
directories e.g.:

gci c:\ -r | ?{$_.PSIsContainer} | %{"{0} {1} MB" -f $_.fullname,
($di.getFolder($_.fullname).size/1MB)}

There is an awful lot in the format operator. It is well worth getting to
know. Also check out the articles on msdn about using it
