Very easy question I think - Please take a look.

Sorry,
I think that this is a very easy question, I just want to know how you can get the file size of a file using vb code.

Any source would be great

Thanks

Hurgh

By using the FileLen function:

Code:

---

MsgBox "The file size is " & FileLen("C:\MyFile.txt")

---

Dim FilePath As String
Dim LengthOfFile As Long

Open FilePath For Binary As #1
LengthOfFile = LOF(1)
Close #1


FilePath is the path and filename of the file you want to know the size of e.g c:\io.sys

LengthOfFile is exactly what it says it is, the length of the file in bytes. Past that

1 KiloByte = 1024 Bytes
1 MegaByte = 1024 Kb
1 Gigabyte = 1024 Mb


Hope this helps you,
