Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. Actually, none of what you said worked for me
unfortunately. Sorry.
I found this command fitsinfo in the manual. This is actually used to get
information about a FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file. However, if
someone is interested only in the size of a file, this seems to be doing the
job.
In my case, I had a data file. I just did the following:
load datafile
infor = fitsinfo( 'datafile' )
filesize = infor.FileSize
filesize will give you the size of the file in bytes. This is what I wanted.
Anyways, thanks everyone again.
Regards,
Satish Chimakurthi

Hi Satish
actually by using dos commands in matlab u can get size of a file...
for example
----------------
%only for one file
D = dir('C:\MATLAB6p5p1\work\example.mat');
sizeoffile=D.bytes
---------------
%or u can get all mat files size's in a directory
D = dir('C:\MATLAB6p5p1\work\*.mat');
sizeoffile=D.bytes >From: satish kumar <worldofsatish@worl...>
