Normally I use TFileStream's, which have a Size property. But I find it nasty to open an file, when I only want to know its size. FPC (like Delphi) lacks some basic file/directory handling functions (Size, Remove, Rename...), at least none are listed in the "File handling overview". While a Delphi user can use the WinAPI for such tasks, a cross-platform development system should provide according platform-independent functions.
At least functions for deletion and renaming exist in SysUtils: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/deletefile.html http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/renamefile.html Regards, Sven _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
