Windows command for file size only

Question

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

Answer 1

In PowerShell you should do this:

(Get-ChildItem C:\TEMP\file1.txt).Length

Answer 2

Try forfiles:

forfiles /p C:\Temp /m file1.txt /c "cmd /c echo @fsize"

The forfiles command runs command c for each file m in directory p.

The variable @fsize is replaced with the size of each file.

If the file C:\Temp\file1.txt is 27 bytes, forfiles runs this command:

cmd /c echo 27

Which prints 27 to the screen.

As a side-effect, it clears your screen as if you had run the cls command.

Answer 3

Taken from here:

The following command finds folders that are greater than 100 MB in size on the D: drive:

diruse /s /m /q:100 /d d:

The /s option causes subdirectories to be searched, the /m option displays disk usage in megabytes, the /q:100 option causes folders that are greater than 100 MB to be marked, and the /d option displays only folders that exceed the threshold specified by /q.

Use the diskuse command to find files over a certain size. The following command displays files over 100 MB in size on the D: drive:

diskuse D: /x:104857600 /v /s

The /x:104857600 option causes files over 104,857,600 bytes to be displayed and is valid only if you include the /v option (verbose). The /s option means subdirectories from the specified path (in this case, the D: drive) are searched.

Using VBScript

' This code finds all files over a certain size.
' ------ SCRIPT CONFIGURATION ------
strComputer = "**<ServerName>**" 
intSizeBytes = 1024 * 1024 * 500  ' = 500 MB
' ------ END CONFIGURATION ---------
set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
set colFiles = objWMI.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from CIM_DataFile where FileSize > '" & intSizeBytes & "'")
for each objFile in colFiles
    Wscript.Echo objFile.Name & "  " & objFile.Filesize / 1024 / 1024 & "MB"
next

Answer 4

Since you're using Windows XP, Windows PowerShell is an option.

(Get-Item filespec ).Length 

or as a function
