Forums Scripts & Popups Filesize on file you are receiving.

This is based on a discusiion in the deveopment forum... What I would like is when I am getting a file I want to know the exact file size (eg: in kb, mb & gb) when I first get the notice that someone is sending me a file.

I already got the coding for whom and what port number (based on above mentioned forum and user ScoT).

This is the code I have so far...
ctcp *:*:*:{ echo -a $timestamp $nick $+ ( $+ $address $+ ) is trying to send you $3 on port $5 $+ . }

What I want is not only the filename (reflected by the $3) but also the specific size I already mentioned.

The coding probably sucks however it works...if the coding needs improving, I don't mind someone helping me on that as well.

Hi,

/help $file

Greets

I've read help $file

No matter I figure it out in time for myself.

Thanks for the reply.

$6 will be the file size. You can use $bytes() to convert it into a more logical form of units (ie. KB, MB, GB).

Thanks for the reply. I found that out mainly by trial and error but got the result $bytes($6,3k).suf which does the trick.

Except $6 won't always be the file size, nor will $5 always be the port number or $4 the IP. Those are only true if filename has no spaces in it.
