#Finding file size
I am writting a program that is started from WB and takes other file
icons as input from the extended select option. What I want to do is
find out the size of each of these file arguments. I don't want to
use an AmigaDos command nor do I want to open the file – go to the
end – and check file pointer posistion.
I have looked and looked and all that I can find on this is the
FileInfoBlock structure. From the little that is written I have setup
a memory slot for the structure, then called AllocDosObject(), the
Examine(), and finally looked for the size. I can't get things to
work. I think the problem is with the Alloc— function. I don't
think I'm setting it up correctly.
Can someone give me an example? Also, everything here is part of the dos
library. I can find almost nothing about this library. It's not in the
RKMs nor on any instruction disk I have. Where can I get something on
dos.library with examples on doing things with it.
