Checking file size in NT (batch)

Actually, it wouldn't work in XP. You forgot the /I.

#1, I dunno /L bit this works in NT5: ======================= @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion echo %~z1 if %~z1 GTR 10 echo biggger ======================== ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Thanks! But it wont work in NT 4. This is returned: Invalid parameter to SETLOCAL command The following usage of the path operator in batch-parameter substitution is invalid: %~z1 For valid formats type CALL /? or FOR /?

Thanks again :) That returned: The following usage of the path operator in batch-parameter substitution is invalid: %~z1

I'm not running NT4. I guess that ~Z won't fly You may need to use DIR and chop out the size. Before you go to the trouble, check and see if GTR works. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I guess it wasn't urgent. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
