Format CFDIRECTORY File Sizes

[Guest]

Hi. I output the file sizes from a <cfdirectory> list that I use, and it shows in bytes. Is there a way to make it so that if it is over 1024 bytes it shows 1KB (or 1.2, whatever the appropriate size is) and in MB if over 1024 KB, and so on... The files will get large, and I don't want to be outputting extremely large file sizes.

Thanks!

Just calculate them.

<cfset kb = decimalFormat(size/1024)>
    <cfset mb = decimalFormat(size/(1024*1024))>

Thanks, I can do that, than just cfif size output based on filesize in bytes... Thanks.

BKBK already answered your question. But in future you may also want to check cflib.org first for these types of questions.  They have a function a function for that 😉

Thanks. Never heard of the site, but I will look there first now.

I checked out this site, and the function looks perfect for what I need, but - am I supposed to place the source code for the function on my page somewhere in order for the fncFileSize() function to work? (I'm a novice at this.) Thanks!
