RE: sending files

We developed a command line utility many years ago to handle things like this (and others) in batch files. Program is FileSize.exe and can be used in a BAT file like this:

--------------clip

REM If MyFile.pdf size is greater than 512, set ERRORLEVEL 1

FileSize.exe MyFile.pdf 512

IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO SendIt

GOTO DoNotSendIt

 

:SendIt

REM Add code to send the file here

GOTO End

 

:DoNotSendIt

REM Add code to do whatever here

GOTO End

 

:End

--------------/clip

 

Another way to do this without a special program like FileSize.exe is to use a FOR in a batch file like this:

 

FOR %%F IN (MyFile.pdf) DO SET MyFileSize=%%~zF

The environment variable MyFileSize will be set to the size of MyFile.pdf

If you need further help with this approach, ask.

Subject: [blat] sending files

 



I have been searching and have Not found an answer yet so I thought I would ask.  I don't know What version I am using but simply want to know is there a way  to only send a file like a pdf if it goes above a certain size? I have a report that only occasionally has information in it. I would like to be able to email it only when the report actually has results so as to keep from sending out Needless emails that people will eventually ignore.
