How to find the size of a file

Title: How to find the size of a file
function Get_File_Size1(sFileToExamine: string; bInKBytes: Boolean): string;
{
for some reason both methods of finding file size return
a filesize that is slightly larger than what Windows File
Explorer reports
}
var
FileHandle: THandle;
FileSize: LongWord;
d1: Double;
i1: Int64;
begin
//a- Get file size
FileHandle := CreateFile(PChar(sFileToExamine),
GENERIC_READ,
0, {exclusive}
nil, {security}
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
0);
FileSize := GetFileSize(FileHandle, nil);
Result := IntToStr(FileSize);
CloseHandle(FileHandle);
//a- optionally report back in Kbytes
if bInKbytes = True then
begin
if Length(Result) 3 then
begin
Insert('.', Result, Length(Result) - 2);
d1 := StrToFloat(Result);
Result := IntToStr(round(d1)) + 'KB';
end
else
Result := '1KB';
end;
end;
{******************************************************************************
Thanks to Advanced Delphi Systems here's another method which works just as
well returning the same results
*******************************************************************************}
function Get_File_Size2(sFileToExamine: string; bInKBytes: Boolean): string;
var
SearchRec: TSearchRec;
sgPath: string;
inRetval, I1: Integer;
begin
sgPath := ExpandFileName(sFileToExamine);
try
inRetval := FindFirst(ExpandFileName(sFileToExamine), faAnyFile, SearchRec);
if inRetval = 0 then
I1 := SearchRec.Size
else
I1 := -1;
finally
SysUtils.FindClose(SearchRec);
end;
Result := IntToStr(I1);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if OpenDialog1.Execute then
label1.Caption := Get_File_Size(Opendialog1.FileName, True);
end;
{*******************************************************************************}
function Get_File_Size3(const FileName: string): TULargeInteger;
// by nico
var
Find: THandle;
Data: TWin32FindData;
begin
Result.QuadPart := -1;
Find := FindFirstFile(PChar(FileName), Data);
if (Find INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) then
begin
Result.LowPart := Data.nFileSizeLow;
Result.HighPart := Data.nFileSizeHigh;
Windows.FindClose(Find);
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
if (OpenDialog1.Execute) then
ShowMessage(IntToStr(Get_File_Size3(OpenDialog1.FileName).QuadPart));
end;
{*******************************************************************************}
function Get_File_Size4(const S: string): Int64;
var
FD: TWin32FindData;
FH: THandle;
begin
FH := FindFirstFile(PChar(S), FD);
if FH = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then Result := 0
else
try
Result := FD.nFileSizeHigh;
Result := Result shl 32;
Result := Result + FD.nFileSizeLow;
finally
CloseHandle(FH);
end;
end;
