file size

[Phil Davis]

If you want to do it entirely in LC and not use a shell command, you 
could do this:

on mouseUp
     answer file "Pick a file:"
     if it is empty then exit to top
     set the itemDelimiter to slash
     put the defaultFolder into tOriginalDefault
     set the defaultFolder to item 1 to -2 of it
     put the detailed files into tList
     set the defaultFolder to tOriginalDefault
     filter tList with urlEncode(last item of it) & ",*"
     set the itemDelimiter to comma
     answer "Length of file" && quote & first item of tList & quote && 
"is" && item 2 of tList && "bytes."
end mouseUp
