FileSize

Description

Returns the size of the attached file in bytes.

This is a read-only property; it can be viewed but not set. This method should be called only after the attachment has been committed to the database. If you call it earlier, the return value will be empty.

Syntax

VBScript

attachment.FileSize 

Perl

$attachment->GetFileSize(); 

Identifier

Description

attachment

An Attachment object, representing the attachment of a file to a record.

Return value

A Long indicating the file's size in bytes.

Example

VBScript

' This example assumes there is at least 1 attachment field
' and 1 attachment associated with the record.
set currentSession = GetSession
set attachFields = AttachmentFields
set attachField1 = attachFields.Item(0)
set theAttachments = attachField1.Attachments
For each attachment in theAttachments
     set thefileName = attachment.FileName 
     set thefileSize = attachment.FileSize 
     currentSession.OutputDebugString "Attached file: " & _
          thefileName & " - size: " & thefileSize 
Next

Perl

# This example assumes that there is at least 1 attachment
# field associated with the record. Otherwise, 
# GetAttachmentFields won't return anything interesting
#  and an error would be generated

# Get the collection of attachment fields
$attachfields = $entity->GetAttachmentFields();

# Get the first attachment fields
$attachfield1 = $attachfields->Item(0)

# Now get the collection of attachments from the attachments field
$attachments = $attachfield1->GetAttachments();

# Retrieve the number of attachments for the for loop
$numattachments = $attachments->Count();

for ($x = 0 ; $x < $numattachments ; $x++)
 {
 # Retrieve the correct attachment
 $attachment = $attachments->Item($x);

 # Get the filename and filesize for the attachment and print out
 # the results
 $filename = $attachment->GetFileName(); 
 $filesize = $attachment->GetFileSize();
 $session->OutputDebugString("Attached file: ".$filename." -
           size: ".$filesize);
