Hello,

do we have a sort of FileSize that return how many byte is a file long?
I am tempted to load the file with LoadFile() and then use GetCount(), but I am afraid to not get the correct result in case of binary file or doing something that can backfire.

Thanks,
Luigi

Hello Luigi,

The function you are looking for is GetFileLength().

	const char *filepath = "./somedocument.pdf";
	
	DDUMP(GetFileLength(filepath));
	
        // Or
 	FileIn fi(filepath);
	if(fi)  DDUMP(fi.GetSize());

        //Or (this is basically the same as GetFileLength()
  	FindFile ff(filepath);
	if(ff)  DDUMP(ff.GetLength());

Best regards,
Oblivion
