[amanda089]

I would like to submit this as a possible addition to the File.au3 UDF.

; Description:    Returns the file size in human readable format
; Syntax:          _FileSize( $sFilePath )
; Parameter(s):  $sFilePath     - Path and filename of the file to be read
; Requirement(s):   None
; Return Value(s):  Array:  [0] = Filesize
;                           [1] = 2 char abbreviated designation
;                           [2] = full designation

    ;Return $aReturn
EndFunc

Attached: _FileSize($sFilePath) <_FileSize.au3>

EDIT: changed to [autoit ] tags.

formatting is screwy because of tabs instead of spaces.

EDIT: Updated to fix a bug where it was only returning the size as kilobytes.

I would like to hang it on the wall as a artistic pattern to look at.

Using [ autoit ] ... [ /autoit ] tags (minus the spaces) may have served better, but you can always edit to fix.

I need a yottabyte of storage to fully test this nice code out for precision (yep, dreaming again )

Thanks for sharing.

I needed a function to convert byte sizes into human readable terms, so I made this one. I figure people will find use for it in "Explorer" style utilities or in any sort'by'size utils.

I'm currently trying to make a utility to watch the file size of file(s)/folder(s) and am stumped as to why the listview isn't updating, even with an example GuiCtrlCreateListViewItem that worked right after I make the GUI. Probably need to reboot my computer (just have to wait another 6 hours or so until video's finish converting)
