    Posted: January 10 2019 at 10:43am
I have looked through some of the code but am not seeing a clear way to capture the file size from a local machine. We have users that would like to have the size of a file tested before attempting an upload so that they can split the file if it is too large. Is there an easy way to do this?

Have a look through the Visual Basic Reference (Help > Documentation > Visual Basic Reference). It looks to me as if the function you need is: FileLen(Name$)

To use this function, look at the ATTESTFILE script in the SAMPLES folder. You should be able to adapt that script to do what you want.

Note: According to the documentation, you will get a run-time error from FileLen if the file does not exist. On that basis, you should test that the file DOES exist before you test the file length.

HTH,

Brian

That worked terrifically! Using '-1' to signify that a file doesn't exist, anything else gives the current filesize. Cheers

SCR='On Error Resume Next'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'X = 0'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'L = -1'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'X = Abs(FileExists("':PATH:'"))'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'If X <> 0 Then'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'L = FileLen("':PATH:'")'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'End If'
SCR=SCR:CHAR(25):'InitSession.Output Cstr(L) & Chr$(13)'
ECHO OFF
CRT CHAR(27):CHAR(2):'P':SCR:CHAR(13):
