Is there a Windows command that will output the size in bytes of a specified file like this?

Answer 1

In a batch file, the below works for local files, but fails for files on network hard drives

for %%I in ("test.jpg") do @set filesize=%~z1

However, it's inferior code, because it doesn't work for files saved on a network drive (for example, \\Nas\test.jpg and \\192.168.2.40\test.jpg). The below code works for files in any location, and I wrote it myself.

I'm sure there are more efficient ways of doing this using VBScript, or PowerShell or whatever, but I didn't want to do any of that; good ol' batch for me!

set file=C:\Users\Admin\Documents\test.jpg
set /a filesize=
set fileExclPath=%file:*\=%

:onemoretime
set fileExclPath2=%fileExclPath:*\=%
set fileExclPath=%fileExclPath2:*\=%
if /i "%fileExclPath%" NEQ "%fileExclPath2%" goto:onemoretime

dir /s /a-d "%workingdir%">"%temp%\temp.txt"
findstr /C:"%fileExclPath%" "%temp%\temp.txt" >"%temp%\temp2.txt"

set /p filesize= <"%temp%\temp2.txt"

echo set filesize=%%filesize: %fileExclPath%%ext%=%% >"%temp%\temp.bat"
call "%temp%\temp.bat"

:RemoveTrailingSpace
if /i "%filesize:~-1%" EQU " " set filesize=%filesize:~0,-1%
if /i "%filesize:~-1%" EQU " " goto:RemoveTrailingSpace

:onemoretime2
set filesize2=%filesize:* =%
set filesize=%filesize2:* =%
if /i "%filesize%" NEQ "%filesize2%" goto:onemoretime2

set filesize=%filesize:,=%
echo %filesize% bytes

SET /a filesizeMB=%filesize%/1024/1024
echo %filesizeMB% MB

SET /a filesizeGB=%filesize%/1024/1024/1024
echo %filesizeGB% GB
