kmurphy kmurphy Fresh Scripter Registered: 2000-04-21 Posts: 15 Loc: Nashua, NH USA	I am able to get the size of 2 files but they are strings so I can't add their sized together. I can't find any way to convert the numeric string into it's corresponding number. How can I convert the 2 strings to numbers so that I can add them together? _________________________ Thanx, Kevin Murphy

This is a simple trick in Kix, which implies "CInt(GetFileSize())". Tricks like this can simplify code and even speed things a bit, but really deserve a comment to describe what's happening, since the result is less obvious than using explicit CInt or CDbl functions.
