FileLen(path) |
The required path argument is a string expression that specifies a file.
The path may include the directory or folder, and the drive.
If the specified file is open when the FileLen function is called, the value returned represents the size of the file immediately before it was opened.
Note. To obtain the length of an open file, use the LOF function.
This example uses the FileLen function to return the length of a file
in bytes.
For purposes of this example, assume that TESTFILE is a file containing some
data.
Dim MySize MySize = FileLen("TESTFILE") ' Returns file length (bytes). |
