filesize command problem

HJC1 · Post by **HJC1** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 12:51 am

I have rls 5.02. Is there a problem with the "filesize" command? It works fine on smaller files but will not return an accurate size on a file of 4g. It returns a size of 872651776 for a file size of 3.342G

Thanks

Is the file on one of the hard drives of the PC or on a "Novell" file server? We have had a problem with Novell and files larger than 4GB. It may be fixed now, but we could not copy a file larger than 4GB to a Novell file server. We could copy from one Windows PC to another Windows PC without any problem.

The file is on a PC running Win XP. All other functions seem to work fine except the filesize which returns an incorrect value on very large files.

Have a try with DOS' dir command.

Run Program> COMSPEC /C dir \ /B /-C > \

ReadLn>\,
..., Output

Afterwards you've to do some of the well known

Bits&Bytes math to get it in MB/GB

Let>Output=%Output%/1024

etc. ...

-----

BTW: you've to replace COMSPEC with:

command.com (Win9x/ME)
or
cmd.exe (WinNT/W2K/XP)
