Find out the size of a file?

[johanneshoer]

I need to program a vi, which appends data to a text file.

The text file may not become larger that a defined size, so the vi should check the size of the file first.

How can I do this?

Hello Johannes, you should use the File/Directory info node in the File I/O -> Advanced File Functions palette.

The LabVIEW palette contains a VI for getting the size of a file, it's called 'Get File Size'

you should use the File/Directory Info function found in the File IO>>Advanced palette.
