Hi Mike,
good point, but actually my line is:
put the length of URL tFile into field "myResult"

because I want the actual number and not how many kb.

Thanks Paul and Alex and Richard,

I ended up using Paul's code:
on mouseUp
answer file "?"
put "binfile:" & it into tFile
put the length of URL tFile / 1000 & "KB" into fld "myResultField"
end mouseUp

It works just great!

Larry,

Try:

on mouseUp
answer file "?"
put "binfile:" & it into tFile
put the length of URL tFile / 1000 & "KB" into fld "myResultField"
end mouseUp

Hello,

I know I can use:
put the files into field "Current Files"

to get the size of a file (in bytes), but is there any way to use "answer
file" or some other way to get the size of just one specific file?



Thanks,

Larry
