#SIZE

Returns the number of bytes in a string, which may contain binary data.  For backward compatibility, #SIZE will also return the number of items in a collection, but #COUNT should be used instead.

Prototype

Parameters

• variable - A variable containing a string or binary data.
• decimals - Optional parameter to specify the number of decimal places to include.  If specified, the number will be formatted with the specified number of decimals and followed by "bytes", "KB", "MB" or "GB".

Example

#/ output 'There are 12 bytes in "Hello World!".'
#NEW($Text)Hello World!#ENDNEW
There are #SIZE($Text) bytes in "$Text".

#/ output something like 'There 12.05 MB in file.'
There are #SIZE($LargeFile,2) in file.
