The [[LOF]] function is used to find the length of an [[OPEN]] file in bytes.

{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: ''totalBytes&'' = [[LOF]]([#]{{Parameter|fileNumber}})

|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* LOF returns the number of bytes in an [[OPEN]]ed designated {{Parameter|fileNumber}}. File is empty if it returns 0.
|
|
* {{Parameter|fileNumber}} is the number of the opened file. '''#''' is not required.
|
|
* Often used to determine the number of records in a [[RANDOM]] access file.
|
|
* Can also be used to avoid reading an empty file, which would create an error.
|
|
* LOF in '''QB64''' can return up to 9 GB (9,223,372,036 bytes) file sizes.
