Hi,

Is that possible to calculate Text File Bytes?

I can do that using OSQL dir, and then loop through to get the exact data.

But need to know if there is any predefined fuction to deal with this type of requirement?

Thanks in advance to you all ;)

You can make use of undocumented extended Stored Proc - xp_getfiledetails.

EXEC master.dbo.xp_getfiledetails 'c:\test\test1.txt'
GO
