Thread: checking file size?

any function will help to check a file size??

Code:

f.seekg(0,ios::end);
long size = (long)f.tellg();

Or use seekp()/tellp().

thank you so much....i will try that out

...ftell is not guaranteed to return a byte count except for binary files...

"ftell" is the equivalent of tell[p,g](). Be sure to open the file in binary mode for determining the size.
