How to determine the size of a file using C++? .

[fdu...@yahoo.com]

I was having problem getting the filesize using
GetFileSize. This is how I called the function:
GetFileSzie("filename", NULL)... is this the right way to
do this?

What I'm trying to do is to keep writing to a file until
it reaches a certain size. I'm comparing my MAX size with
the current size of the file, if it reaches the MAX size,
then exit out. How do I do this exactly? I'm trying to
use GetFileSize to do this, but I am having a hard time
doing so.

GetFileSize accepts a file handle, not a file name. This is the same
handle you obtain with CreateFile and use in WriteFile. Exactly what
problem do you classify as "a hard time"?
