Is any one else having issues with the 'getfilesize' function? Not sure why I cant get the bytes returned? Message displays the file name correctly and checks the file exists and is opened but still returns 'o' bytes?

Does it not only work with OpenToRead files? I use it in my media loading all the time and it seems to be ok with beta 19.

If you open a new file to write it will be zero bytes. I'm note sure what the report is if it has content.

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?

i tryed opentoread also,it shows me 0 byte.
i saw that opentowrite did nothing until some command write in the file. so i expect it should show me the size from the text file i had created manually.

I see from my debug log that the file size doesn't change until the file is closed, so it not working with OpenToWrite isn't overly surprising. (I've never used the append mode when writing a file, but I suspect it would stay at the original size until the file is closed)

I definitely have had it working with OpenToRead files though, on Windows 7, 8 and Android (Both compiled into APK and through the player.)

I just tested the OP's code snippet, and in it's current state it does report 0 as the size of the file; but try it with OpenToRead(str2$) instead and assuming the file you point it to has size, it reports the size correctly.

@Markus:
Did you just make an empty text file? They have 0 bytes. I did that when I first tested the snippet above.

This is weird, It is working for me. I just wrote a quick test program of my own which writes a file, gets the size, then opens it to read and gets the size, and BOTH times it reports the size of the file correctly.

This was tested under Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, and Android 4.2.2; using code written and compiled with AppGameKit 1.08 beta 19

Both platforms returned correct values for both tests.

@Markus:
This is really weird :/

I have used the GetFileSize() command successfully in my Media loading functions to verify media files (as there is no sensible way to hash a file in tier 1 as yet) for a long time now. It has always worked for me on Android and Windows Vista, 7 and 8.

I have no idea why it's not working for you or the OP.
