Retrieves the size of a file.
FileGetSize, OutputVar [, Filename, Units] |
Parameters
OutputVar | The name of the variable in which to store the retrieved size (rounded down to the nearest whole number). |
Filename | The name of the target file, which is assumed to be in %A_WorkingDir% if an absolute path isn't specified. If omitted, the current file of the innermost enclosing File-Loop will be used instead. |
Units | If present, this parameter causes the result to be returned in units other than bytes: |
ErrorLevel
ErrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise.
Remarks
Files over 4 gigabytes in size are supported (even if Units is bytes).
If the target file is a directory, the size will be reported as whatever the OS believes it to be (probably zero in all cases).
To calculate the size of folder, including all its files, follow this example:
SetBatchLines, -1 ; Make the operation run at maximum speed. FolderSize = 0 FileSelectFolder, WhichFolder ; Ask the user to pick a folder. Loop, %WhichFolder%\*.*, , 1 FolderSize += %A_LoopFileSize% MsgBox Size of %WhichFolder% is %FolderSize% bytes.
