Show file property from d2k

Question

How can I have file size (in bytes or KB) from d2k(form)?
(e.g i have a file 'c:\test.txt', I want to get the size of this file from form at the run time).
Thanks

It somehow beats around the bush, still here's what I'd do:
declare
xfile text_io.file_type;
linestr varchar2(1000);
fsize number;
begin
host('dir c:\xxx.txt >filelist.txt', no_screen);
xfile:=text_io.fopen('c:\filelist.txt');
text_io.get_line(xfile, linestr);
text_io.fclose(xfile);
-- got to be certain where in the line you find the file size
xfile:=to_number(substr(linestr, ..., ...));
end;
