    Select the folder containing the eps
    Create a csv on the same level

    //Header
    sNo = "S.No"
    sName = "Name"
    sWpt = "Active artboard width in points"
    sHpt = "Active artboard height in points"
    //
    sFileType = "eps"
     
    main();
     
    function main(){
    folderRef = Folder.selectDialog("Select Folder");
    if( folderRef != false){
    fileList = folderRef.getFiles("*." + sFileType)
    if( fileList != false){
    fileList.sort(compare)
    sText = sNo + "," + sName + "," + sWpt + "," + sHpt
    ifl = fileList.length
    for (var i=0;i<ifl;i++){
    sText += "\r" 
    fileObj = new File(fileList[i].fsName);
    app.userInteractionLevel=UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
    open(fileObj);
    app.userInteractionLevel=UserInteractionLevel.DISPLAYALERTS;
    oDoc = app.activeDocument;
    sText += i+1
    sText += "," + decodeURI(oDoc.name.replace(("." + sFileType),""))
    sText += "," + (oDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect[2]-oDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect[0]) + " pt"
    sText += "," + -(oDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect[3]-oDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect[1]) + " pt"

    function compare(a,b){
    regex = new RegExp(/[0-9]+/);
        index = 0

            index = -1
        }
        return index
    }

    There are already a couple of scripts for Adobe Bridge which can do it hand over fist.

     

    You may do a search for "extract metadata script adobe bridge" or something similar.
