Hey guys, im trying to use the getfilesize win32api function, but it is returning -1, why? (test.txt has 17 bytes).
ThanksCode:int main(){ HANDLE hFile; hFile = "c:\\teste.txt"; int filesize = GetFileSize(hFile, NULL); cout << filesize << endl; system ("PAUSE"); }
Try using GetLastError to find out the exact reason why it failed.
My best code is written with the delete key.
Well, i dont know too much about that function, but it outputed a "6".Code:int main(){ HANDLE hFile; hFile = "c:\\teste.txt"; int filesize = GetFileSize(hFile, NULL); if (filesize == 0xFFFFFFFF) cout << "error: " << GetLastError() << endl; else cout << filesize << endl; system ("PAUSE"); }

One more click, and you're there.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Error 6: ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE - The handle is invalid.
Why my handle is invalid? =~~
Probably because just pointing at a filename isn't enough
Maybe open the file using a win32 API function?

Yay, CreateFile()
