Get file Size for files > 4 GB

[SLider3]

What function should I use if i want to get the File size o a file and it may have more than 4 GB?

There is a call to a filesize (can't remember exact what at this moment) that gives the size in a long AND an integer to the "overflow" part, thus giving the size upp to....hmmm...REAL big!

As i recall it is an older style DOS-like call, i shall try to find asap but i'm a "little" hung-up over work....

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

Well, if you could tell me the name of the function and give me some code example would be great.
Thanks ;-)

GetFileSize returns the low-order dword of the file size, if the size is > 1 DWORD then you can optionally pass in another to get the high-order dword, which will make up the total file size.

Well, i have already tried that function but i can't get it to work on BCB. Or it always returns -1 or i get some Exception Erros.
Can you show me how do you use it?
