How do we verify file size ?

Verify a specific file size b4 the script continues...if file size has changed...stop the program.

Thanks for all feed back, nt

Thanks, FreezingFire

Using vds 5, i am doing something wrong.

using: %D = C:\Program Files\My Program\actres.exe

File size = 15360
Actual Size = 15384

Window reports it both ways under properties window.

if @not(@equal(@file(@path(%0)myfile.ext,Z),1024))

OR?

@unequal(@file(@path(%0)%D,Z),15384))

Where would I place my key assignment in the above lines of code?

Thanks, nt

Firstly, you have to use the file's actual size in your function - file size refers to the disk space taken by the

Secondly, you can of course use @unequal() when you're using VDS5. But you gotta adjust your parentheses so they
match (you have an extra one in your example Wink

). E.g.
