you need to stick in a plus ( + ) sign. ie:


or another way to do it, would be:


Just remember that when you are adding to a string you need to literally "add" them together with a plus ( + ) sign.

Hope I Helped...

you have:


you need:


I put the file size("blah.dll") part all inside of the Str$() command, because the File Size() command returns an integer, not a string, so it needs to be converted to a string before it can be put into a string variable, otherwise the error will be produced.

Hope I Helped...

Btw, what does "1337" mean?

Do you understand the difference between an integer and a string variable? Not trying to poke fun, but its obvious you're fairly new at coding so you may not understand it yet.

As for "1337", its LEET, or more correctly, elite. Hacker writing, use every possible symbol to write a word without using the correct one. Gets quite annoying when trying to read a whole paper like that.

uh...yeah.

Speaking about the difference between string variables and integers wouldn't the file size be returned as an integer? In that case it would be

x = file size("blah.dll")
so$ = STR$(x)

I think Jess had the right idea.

It's a long story and there's no punchline...

What i posted does that in one line rather than two.

And why would you write in that "hacker code" it's a load of crap...
