Find out the size of a file?

I need to program a vi, which appends data to a text file.
The text file may not become larger that a defined size, so the vi should check the size of the file first.
How can I do this?
Greetings Johannes
Using LabVIEW 7.1 and 2009 recently
Solved!

The LabVIEW palette contains a VI for getting the size of a file, it's called 'Get File Size'

  • How do I find out the size of a file, trying to make a DVD and told the fil

    Made a slide show project with music and trying to write to dvd. Computer tells me the file is to large and to use a dual sided disk. I cut may slides out but no luck. How do you find out the file size?

    Hi
    And SlideShows has a limit of 99 slides per show.
    I rather assemble mine in iMovie HD 6 where as QuickTimeKirk states
    it only has Time as a limit dep. on encoding method selected and if Single or Double layer DVDs
    Single Layer (for DL double time) - TIME includes menu - keeping it simple gives more to movie.
    (I prefere "Brushed Metal" no audio, no animation.)
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

  • How to find out the size of a file?

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the size of a file from my code. How is that possible? I do not find any appropriate method in the java.io.File class.
    Any help would be very appreciated!

    java.io.File.length()
    Returns the size of the file as a long. The number corresponds to the number of bytes in the file.

  • How to find out the size of files transferred over the SQL * Net?

    I am trying to test the Advanced Compress (AC) for 11g Data Guard. When the AC is turned on, the archived log files are supposed to be compressed on the primary database server and sent over SQL*Net, then decompressed on the standby db server. We will see the file sizes are the same on both primary and standby servers. I want to verify that the AC works by monitoring how much data are sent over SQL*Net. Per Oracle, AC uses 35% less of the bandwith. That means the size of the files transferred should be at least 65% of the original size.
    Is there a way to find out the size through Oracle utilities? If not, how to find out by OS utilities? OS is Solaris 5.10.
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure this can be done via SQL*Net, but a network packet sniffer between the two servers should be able to help - you might want to contact your network team.

  • How to find out the size of a database?

    I'm not an oracle dba but a report developer. I'd like to find out the size of my database.
    Is this possible using simple query?

    An oracle database consists of data files, redo log files, control files, temporary files. Whenever you say the size of the database this actually means the summation of these files.
    select a.data_size+b.temp_size+c.redo_size+d.controlfile_size "total_size in MB"
    from
    ( select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 data_size from dba_data_files ) a,
    ( select nvl(sum(bytes),0)/1024/1024 temp_size from dba_temp_files ) b,
    ( select sum(bytes)/1024/1024 redo_size from sys.v_$log ) c,
    ( select sum(BLOCK_SIZE*FILE_SIZE_BLKS)/1024/1024 controlfile_size from v$controlfile) d;
    here
    a is megabytes allocated to ALL datafiles
    b is megabytes allocated to ALL TEMP files
    c is megabytes allocated to ALL redo-logs
    d is megabytes allocated to ALL control files

  • How to find out the format of a file?

    Is there any way to find out the format of a file?
    By format I mean binary, text, .doc, .rtf, etc. Please kindly help

    The unix file command:
    file *
    foo.doc ms-office file / word
    bar.png png image, 32x32 pixels, no transparency
    moo.hhml html text
    note that as in the last - file names are ignored, it works by checking the beginning of each file's data against it's database, and as in #2 it can sometimes see a lot more than just the file format.
    Don't know of a windows port, you could try cygwin

  • Urgent: How to find out the size in bytes of java object

    Hi Experts,
    We've a requirement that we need to find out the size of a java object at run time, is there a direct java API to get the size of a composite object in memory?
    Here is my requirement: We are adding string objects (which is an xml string of considerable size) into a List. After reaching certain size limit (lets say 5MB) of the list i need to put this data into DB as a CLOB. So every time I add a string object to the list, I need to see if the total size of the list exceeds the limit and if yes, flush the results into DB.
    I am not sure if java has a direct API for this, if not what is the beast way to do it, it s critical requirement for us.
    It would be really great if someone could help us out.
    Thank you,
    -Shibu.

    Could you explain your actual requirement a little more fully.
    1. Is each individual string a separate XML string? Or is it just a fragment? Why would you just concatenate them together into a CLOB? That won't produce valid XML and it won't let you easily separate the pieces again later. So provide a simple example showing some strings and how you need to manipulate them.
    2. Are you using these xml strings in Java at all? Or are you just loading them into the database?
    For example if you are just loading them into the database you don't need to create a list. Just create a CLOB in Java and append each string to the CLOB. Before you append each one you can check to see if the new string will put you over your length limit. If it will then you write the CLOB to the database, empty the CLOB and start appending again to the new clob instance.
    If you explain what you are really trying to do we might be able to suggest some better ways to do it.

  • How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

    How can i find out the size of video on my iphone 5?

    As far as I've known, all iPhones (3G/3GS/4/4S/5) sold in China (probably only in China) have this low battery alert sound.
    So called "localization" or what...
    Actually many people found it annoying coz it plays even when the phone is switched to SILENT. However no solution has been found so far
    PS: reeeeeeeally hope Apple could see this thread and at least give Chinese users an option to switch it off!!

  • My startup disc is full and I want to find out the size of trash and junk in mailbox before dumping trash & junk

    I have gotten this message saying that my startup disc is full.
    I know I need to dump the trash can on my home screen and I have done that.
    I know that there is both trash and junk in my mail app that I will dump also but I am curious as to the size of the trash and junk in mail but I don’t see how to find the sizes.
    Its nice that the Junk tells me that there are 739 messages but it doesn’t say what the size of all of them is.
    Do you know how i can see what the file sizes are for trash and Junk in Mail?
    I know I can just delete them and see how much this yellow bar decreases but that seems like a crude way to see what the file sizes are that I have deleted.
    If you have an answer for how to find out the file sizes of the Mail trash and junk I would like to know how to do it.
    I have the latest version 10.9.4 on my Mac Air.

    do you have the Size Column selected in the View pulldown?

  • How to find out the status of a file in java

    Hi
    I have an application that writes xml files anytime it is invoked. I am writing all unique files to a windows directory.
    i also have an ftp client working on that directory that scans all the files and sends them to the server every few minutes.
    I want to find a way using which all the files except the one that is being currently written by the application are transferred.
    Is there a way to find out in java as to what file is being written to by the operating system at that point of time ? I have looked around for quite a long time and have not been able to find a solution to this problem.
    Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    out = new FileOutputStream(matcher.group(1)+".open" , true);
                          FileChannel ch = out.getChannel();
                                       FileLock lock =  ch.lock(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE, false);
                                   // Connect print stream to the output stream          
                                       p = new PrintStream( out );
                            p.println ("\n" + parms.getProperty( value ) + "\n");
                                  p.flush();
                            p.close();
                                  lock.release();Ok, I tried implementing locks but I dont know why it is not working...An exception is thrown and nothing is wriiten to the file. I have employed a complete lock on the file so that no other JVM application can use it.
    Actually this is a server that grabs data sent from an Iframe and writes it down to a temp file. I open a file input stream, lock it and then use a printwriter strream to write the realyed data to the file. Any inputs as to what is wrong with the code snippet above?????

  • HT5730 How can I find out the size (Kb /MB) of software updates?

    My software updates available contains a number of program updates.   I have a daily data allowance of 400 mb.  I want to prioritise my downloads, but cannot make a decision without knowing how big each update is.  So, how can I find this out ?

    This information does not seem to be easily available anymore, in many cases.  See, for instance, the discussion at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22563518#22563518
    Also, be aware that the trend seems to be for updates to be automatically downloaded without user interaction, ready for installation!   You can uncheck "Download newly available updates in the background" inside System preferences under "Software update". I think it is checked by default.
    The best answer, although I don't think it's a great one, seems to be that once you start the download, the download window will show you how big it is.  In previous versions of OS X, the size of the download appeared in the update screen, but has now gone.
    Hope that helps.
