it's easier to parse a
get shell("dir" && yourpath)
or to avoid reading the file completely in ram,
open file x for reading
put 0 into filesize
put 1024 into buffersize
repeat
read from file x for buffersize
if it is empty then exit repeat
get length of it
if it is not buffersize then
add it to filesize
exit repeat
else add buffersize to filesize
end repeat
close file x
