how to calculate the length in chars of a binary file?

[Chipp Walters]

I should mention:

put the number of chars into X doesn't work with binary field contents. I
have a feeling the binaryDecode function is what's needed. I just need to
know the parameters...

I can load a binary file into a field:

put URL "binfile:C:/test.jpg" into fld "test"

how can I figure out the length in characters for that file? I need to know
before uploading to a server.

thanks anyone,
