Blocks skipped

[masonit]

Hi

When using options "exclude swap file blocks" and "exclude deleted file blocks" I can see in the job statistics:

Deleted file blocks skipped: 797,0 MB
Swap file blocks skipped: 367,0 MB

I have found this info with powershell using Get-VBRTaskSession (Logger.GetLog().UpdatedRecords). But is it possible somehow to get the value part in the string (797,0) as a real value? Want to collect this info and don't want to interpret a string.

You need to parse the given string, get number of skipped blocks and then convert it to integer, using similar approach. Thanks!

Hi,

Here is some sample code how you could parse out the data:

Code: Select all

$datastr = "Deleted file blocks skipped: 797,0 MB"
if ($datastr -match ": ([0-9,]+) ([GMK])B") {
	<#if you the system uses a dot, you can use replace to change , to . $data = [double]$Matches[1].Replace(',',".")#>
	$data = [double]$Matches[1]
	$so = "","K","M","G","T","P"
	$databytes = $data*[Math]::Pow(1024,$so.IndexOf($Matches[2]))
	
	write-host $databytes
}
