Example
PowerShell:
$RootFolderPath = "C:\"
$SOS.GetInformation($RootFolderPath, "Size", $False, $OutParameter)
VBS:
RootFolderPath = "C:\"
SOS.GetInformation RootFolderPath, "Size", False, OutParameter
The call of GetInformationByPath() gathers the size of the current root directory, and returns it in a OLEVariant variable called "OutParameter".
"OutParameter" can be accessed like every other variable of the variant type, and its content can be used for printing.
