This is an example from documentation,
assuming your file is MyFile.txt:
 
get the detailed files 
filter it with "MyFile.txt,*" 
put item 2 of it + item 3 of it into myFileSize
 
There is also  size property which reports the amount of disk space taken by
an object to judge how much memory an object takes when displayed. E.g.: 
 
get the size of image myImage
 
However the size property of a stack does not report any meaningful value
and is always 10000.
 
All the best!
