Just wondering if .NET provides a clean way to do this:
int64 x = 1000000;
string y = null;
if (x / 1024 == 0) {
y = x + " bytes";
}
else if (x / (1024 * 1024) == 0) {
y = string.Format("{0:n1} KB", x / 1024f);
}
etc...
Here is a fairly concise way to do this:
static readonly string[] SizeSuffixes =
{ "bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB" };
static string SizeSuffix(Int64 value, int decimalPlaces = 1)
{
if (decimalPlaces < 0) { throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("decimalPlaces"); }
if (value < 0) { return "-" + SizeSuffix(-value); }
if (value == 0) { return string.Format("{0:n" + decimalPlaces + "} bytes", 0); }
// mag is 0 for bytes, 1 for KB, 2, for MB, etc.
int mag = (int)Math.Log(value, 1024);
// 1L << (mag * 10) == 2 ^ (10 * mag)
// [i.e. the number of bytes in the unit corresponding to mag]
decimal adjustedSize = (decimal)value / (1L << (mag * 10));
// make adjustment when the value is large enough that
// it would round up to 1000 or more
if (Math.Round(adjustedSize, decimalPlaces) >= 1000)
{
mag += 1;
adjustedSize /= 1024;
}
return string.Format("{0:n" + decimalPlaces + "} {1}",
adjustedSize,
SizeSuffixes[mag]);
}
And here's the original implementation I suggested, which may be marginally slower, but a bit easier to follow:
static readonly string[] SizeSuffixes =
{ "bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB" };
static string SizeSuffix(Int64 value, int decimalPlaces = 1)
{
if (value < 0) { return "-" + SizeSuffix(-value); }
int i = 0;
decimal dValue = (decimal)value;
while (Math.Round(dValue, decimalPlaces) >= 1000)
{
dValue /= 1024;
i++;
}
return string.Format("{0:n" + decimalPlaces + "} {1}", dValue, SizeSuffixes[i]);
}
Console.WriteLine(SizeSuffix(100005000L));
Checkout the ByteSize library. It's the System.TimeSpan for bytes!
It handles the conversion and formatting for you.
var maxFileSize = ByteSize.FromKiloBytes(10);
maxFileSize.Bytes;
maxFileSize.MegaBytes;
maxFileSize.GigaBytes;
It also does string representation and parsing.
// ToString
ByteSize.FromKiloBytes(1024).ToString(); // 1 MB
ByteSize.FromGigabytes(.5).ToString(); // 512 MB
ByteSize.FromGigabytes(1024).ToString(); // 1 TB
// Parsing
ByteSize.Parse("5b");
ByteSize.Parse("1.55B");
Since everyone else is posting their methods, I figured I'd post the extension method I usually use for this:
EDIT: added int/long variants...and fixed a copypasta typo...
public static class Ext
{
private const long OneKb = 1024;
private const long OneMb = OneKb * 1024;
private const long OneGb = OneMb * 1024;
private const long OneTb = OneGb * 1024;
public static string ToPrettySize(this int value, int decimalPlaces = 0)
{
return ((long)value).ToPrettySize(decimalPlaces);
}
public static string ToPrettySize(this long value, int decimalPlaces = 0)
{
var asTb = Math.Round((double)value / OneTb, decimalPlaces);
var asGb = Math.Round((double)value / OneGb, decimalPlaces);
var asMb = Math.Round((double)value / OneMb, decimalPlaces);
var asKb = Math.Round((double)value / OneKb, decimalPlaces);
string chosenValue = asTb > 1 ? string.Format("{0}Tb",asTb)
: asGb > 1 ? string.Format("{0}Gb",asGb)
: asMb > 1 ? string.Format("{0}Mb",asMb)
: asKb > 1 ? string.Format("{0}Kb",asKb)
: string.Format("{0}B", Math.Round((double)value, decimalPlaces));
return chosenValue;
}
}
I would solve it using Extension methods, Math.Pow function and Enums:
public static class MyExtension
{
public enum SizeUnits
{
Byte, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB, EB, ZB, YB
}
public static string ToSize(this Int64 value, SizeUnits unit)
{
return (value / (double)Math.Pow(1024, (Int64)unit)).ToString("0.00");
}
}
and use it like:
string h = x.ToSize(MyExtension.SizeUnits.KB);
The short version of the most voted answer has problems with TB values.
I adjusted it appropriately to handle also tb values and still without a loop and also added a little error checking for negative values. Here's my solution:
static readonly string[] SizeSuffixes = { "bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB" };
static string SizeSuffix(long value, int decimalPlaces = 0)
{
if (value < 0)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Bytes should not be negative", "value");
}
var mag = (int)Math.Max(0, Math.Log(value, 1024));
var adjustedSize = Math.Round(value / Math.Pow(1024, mag), decimalPlaces);
return String.Format("{0} {1}", adjustedSize, SizeSuffixes[mag]);
}
No. Mostly because it's of a rather niche need, and there are too many possible variations. (Is it "KB", "Kb" or "Ko"? Is a megabyte 1024 * 1024 bytes, or 1024 * 1000 bytes? -- yes, some places use that!)
Here is an option that's easier to extend than yours, but no, there is none built into the library itself.
private static List<string> suffixes = new List<string> { " B", " KB", " MB", " GB", " TB", " PB" };
public static string Foo(int number)
{
for (int i = 0; i < suffixes.Count; i++)
{
int temp = number / (int)Math.Pow(1024, i + 1);
if (temp == 0)
return (number / (int)Math.Pow(1024, i)) + suffixes[i];
}
return number.ToString();
}
private string GetFileSize(double byteCount)
{
string size = "0 Bytes";
if (byteCount >= 1073741824.0)
size = String.Format("{0:##.##}", byteCount / 1073741824.0) + " GB";
else if (byteCount >= 1048576.0)
size = String.Format("{0:##.##}", byteCount / 1048576.0) + " MB";
else if (byteCount >= 1024.0)
size = String.Format("{0:##.##}", byteCount / 1024.0) + " KB";
else if (byteCount > 0 && byteCount < 1024.0)
size = byteCount.ToString() + " Bytes";
return size;
}
private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (openFile1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
FileInfo thisFile = new FileInfo(openFile1.FileName);
string info = "";
info += "File: " + Path.GetFileName(openFile1.FileName);
info += Environment.NewLine;
info += "File Size: " + GetFileSize((int)thisFile.Length);
label1.Text = info;
}
}
This is one way to do it aswell (The number 1073741824.0 is from 1024*1024*1024 aka GB)
Based on NeverHopeless's elegant solution:
private static readonly KeyValuePair<long, string>[] Thresholds =
{
// new KeyValuePair<long, string>(0, " Bytes"), // Don't devide by Zero!
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1, " Byte"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(2, " Bytes"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1024, " KB"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1048576, " MB"), // Note: 1024 ^ 2 = 1026 (xor operator)
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1073741824, " GB"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1099511627776, " TB"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1125899906842620, " PB"),
new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1152921504606850000, " EB"),
// These don't fit into a int64
// new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1180591620717410000000, " ZB"),
// new KeyValuePair<long, string>(1208925819614630000000000, " YB")
};
/// <summary>
/// Returns x Bytes, kB, Mb, etc...
/// </summary>
public static string ToByteSize(this long value)
{
if (value == 0) return "0 Bytes"; // zero is plural
for (int t = Thresholds.Length - 1; t > 0; t--)
if (value >= Thresholds[t].Key) return ((double)value / Thresholds[t].Key).ToString("0.00") + Thresholds[t].Value;
return "-" + ToByteSize(-value); // negative bytes (common case optimised to the end of this routine)
}
Maybe there are excessive comments, but I tend to leave them to prevent myself from making the same mistakes over on future visits...
@Servy's answer was nice and succinct. I think it can be even simpler?
private static string[] suffixes = new [] { " B", " KB", " MB", " GB", " TB", " PB" };
public static string ToSize(double number, int precision = 2)
{
// unit's number of bytes
const double unit = 1024;
// suffix counter
int i = 0;
// as long as we're bigger than a unit, keep going
while(number > unit)
{
number /= unit;
i++;
}
// apply precision and current suffix
return Math.Round(number, precision) + suffixes[i];
}
No.
But you can implement like this;
static double ConvertBytesToMegabytes(long bytes)
{
return (bytes / 1024f) / 1024f;
}
static double ConvertKilobytesToMegabytes(long kilobytes)
{
return kilobytes / 1024f;
}
Also check out How to correctly convert filesize in bytes into mega or gigabytes?
I have combined some of the answers here into two methods that work great. The second method below will convert from a bytes string (like 1.5.1 GB) back to bytes (like 1621350140) as a long type value. I hope this is useful to others looking for a solution to convert bytes to a string and back into bytes.
public static string BytesAsString(float bytes)
{
string[] suffix = { "B", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" };
int i;
double doubleBytes = 0;
for (i = 0; (int)(bytes / 1024) > 0; i++, bytes /= 1024)
{
doubleBytes = bytes / 1024.0;
}
return string.Format("{0:0.00} {1}", doubleBytes, suffix[i]);
}
public static long StringAsBytes(string bytesString)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(bytesString))
{
return 0;
}
const long OneKb = 1024;
const long OneMb = OneKb * 1024;
const long OneGb = OneMb * 1024;
const long OneTb = OneGb * 1024;
double returnValue;
string suffix = string.Empty;
if (bytesString.IndexOf(" ") > 0)
{
returnValue = float.Parse(bytesString.Substring(0, bytesString.IndexOf(" ")));
suffix = bytesString.Substring(bytesString.IndexOf(" ") + 1).ToUpperInvariant();
}
else
{
returnValue = float.Parse(bytesString.Substring(0, bytesString.Length - 2));
suffix = bytesString.ToUpperInvariant().Substring(bytesString.Length - 2);
}
switch (suffix)
{
case "KB":
{
returnValue *= OneKb;
break;
}
case "MB":
{
returnValue *= OneMb;
break;
}
case "GB":
{
returnValue *= OneGb;
break;
}
case "TB":
{
returnValue *= OneTb;
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
return Convert.ToInt64(returnValue);
}
How about:
public void printMB(uint sizekB)
{
double sizeMB = (double) sizekB / 1024;
Console.WriteLine("Size is " + sizeMB.ToString("0.00") + "MB");
}
E.g. call like
printMB(123456);
Will result in output
"Size is 120,56 MB"
I went for JerKimballs solution, and thumbs up to that. However, I would like to add / point out that this is indeed a matter of controversy as a whole. In my research (for other reasons) I have come up with the following pieces of information.
When normal people (I have heard they exist) speak of gigabytes they refer to the metric system wherein 1000 to the power of 3 from the original number of bytes == the number of gigabytes. However, of course there is the IEC / JEDEC standards which is nicely summed up in wikipedia, which instead of 1000 to the power of x they have 1024. Which for physical storage devices (and I guess logical such as amazon and others) means an ever increasing difference between metric vs IEC. So for instance 1 TB == 1 terabyte metric is 1000 to the power of 4, but IEC officially terms the similar number as 1 TiB, tebibyte as 1024 to the power of 4. But, alas, in non-technical applications (I would go by audience) the norm is metric, and in my own app for internal use currently I explain the difference in documentation. But for display purposes I do not even offer anything but metric. Internally even though it's not relevant in my app I only store bytes and do the calculation for display.
As a side note I find it somewhat lackluster that the .Net framework AFAIK (and I am frequently wrong thank the powers that be) even in it's 4.5 incarnation does not contain anything about this in any libraries internally. One would expect an open source library of some kind to be NuGettable at some point, but I admit this is a small peeve. On the other hand System.IO.DriveInfo and others also only have bytes (as long) which is rather clear.

let scaleBytes (value : float) : float * string =
let log2 x = log x / log 2.
let prefixes = [| ""; "Ki"; "Mi"; "Gi"; "Ti"; "Pi" |] // note the capital K and the 'i'
let index = int (log2 value) / 10
1. / 2.**(float index * 10.),
sprintf "%s%s" prefixes.[index] (Units.symbol Bytes)
public static class MyExtension
{
public static string ToPrettySize(this float Size)
{
return ConvertToPrettySize(Size, 0);
}
public static string ToPrettySize(this int Size)
{
return ConvertToPrettySize(Size, 0);
}
private static string ConvertToPrettySize(float Size, int R)
{
float F = Size / 1024f;
if (F < 1)
{
switch (R)
{
case 0:
return string.Format("{0:0.00} byte", Size);
case 1:
return string.Format("{0:0.00} kb", Size);
case 2:
return string.Format("{0:0.00} mb", Size);
case 3:
return string.Format("{0:0.00} gb", Size);
}
}
return ConvertToPrettySize(F, ++R);
}
}
How about some recursion:
private static string ReturnSize(double size, string sizeLabel)
{
if (size > 1024)
{
if (sizeLabel.Length == 0)
return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "KB");
else if (sizeLabel == "KB")
return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "MB");
else if (sizeLabel == "MB")
return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "GB");
else if (sizeLabel == "GB")
return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "TB");
else
return ReturnSize(size / 1024, "PB");
}
else
{
if (sizeLabel.Length > 0)
return string.Concat(size.ToString("0.00"), sizeLabel);
else
return string.Concat(size.ToString("0.00"), "Bytes");
}
}
Then you can call it:
ReturnSize(size, string.Empty);
As posted above, the recursion is the favorite way, with the help of logarithm.
The following function has 3 arguments : the input, the dimension constraint of the output, that is the third argument.
int ByteReDim(unsigned long ival, int constraint, unsigned long *oval)
{
int base = 1 + (int) log10(ival);
(*oval) = ival;
if (base > constraint) {
(*oval) = (*oval) >> 10;
return(1 + ByteReDim((*oval), constraint, oval));
} else
return(0);
}
Now let's convert 12GB of RAM in several units:
int main(void)
{
unsigned long RAM;
int unit; // index of below symbols array
char symbol[5] = {'B', 'K', 'M', 'G', 'T'};
unit = ByteReDim(12884901888, 12, &RAM);
printf("%lu%c\n", RAM, symbol[unit]); // output is 12884901888B
unit = ByteReDim(12884901888, 9, &RAM);
printf("%lu%c\n", RAM, symbol[unit]); // output is 12582912K
unit = ByteReDim(12884901888, 6, &RAM);
printf("%lu%c\n", RAM, symbol[unit]); // output is 12288M
unit = ByteReDim(12884901888, 3, &RAM);
printf("%lu%c\n", RAM, symbol[unit]); // output is 12G
}
I use this for Windows (binary prefixes):
static readonly string[] BinaryPrefix = { "bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB" }; // , "PB", "EB", "ZB", "YB"
string GetMemoryString(double bytes)
{
int counter = 0;
double value = bytes;
string text = "";
do
{
text = value.ToString("0.0") + " " + BinaryPrefix[counter];
value /= 1024;
counter++;
}
while (Math.Floor(value) > 0 && counter < BinaryPrefix.Length);
return text;
}
