here you a go, I'm new to C so please show me a better way of this is wrong, thanks.
int filesize(FILE *handle)
{
fseek(handle,0,SEEK_END);
fsize=ftell(handle);
return fsize;
}

@xoid:
an int possibly won't be big enough to hold the file size. Besides, ftell() returns a long int.
Also, fseeking to the end of a file isn't guaranteed to tell you the correct answer to the question. The file open mode can affect the answer too.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

maybe I'm wrong, but if you want to find an exact filesize you need Unix, LOL, I'm using windows, Visual C++ 6 compiler currently learning ANSI C, anything I could use that will guarantee the correct filesize?
thanks in advance
Use a binary open mode in your fopen() call. Then you can fseek()/ftell()

cool, is that the most efficient method under windows?
Yep.
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
You. Fetch me my copy of the Wall Street Journal. You two, fight to the death - Stewie
