I use very often the System.IOUtils units with the wonderful classes\/records TPath, TDirectory and TFile. They are much more comfortable than the old functions from System.SysUtils like FindFirst etc..<\/p>\n
But there is one method I’m really missing: It is the size of a file. For sure there are some workarounds but I think that this method belongs to TFile. That’s why I wrote a small helper class:<\/p>\n
type\r\n TFileHelper = record helper for TFile\r\n public\r\n class function Size(const APath: string): Int64; static;\r\n end;\r\n\r\n{ TFileHelper }\r\n\r\nclass function TFileHelper.Size(const APath: string): Int64;\r\nvar\r\n pStream: TFileStream;\r\nbegin\r\n pStream := OpenRead(APath);\r\n try\r\n Result := pStream.Size;\r\n finally\r\n pStream.Free;\r\n end;\r\nend;\r\n<\/pre>\nI will try to convince Marco or Jim to add this method to the next release. So stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
