Unable to retrieve the file_size for file at location

To retrieve the file_size for a file at a specific location, you can use various programming languages or frameworks. Here’s an example in Python using the os module:


import os

def get_file_size(file_path):
    try:
        # Get the size of the file in bytes
        file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
        return file_size
    except OSError:
        return "Unable to retrieve the file size"

file_path = "/path/to/your/file.ext"
file_size = get_file_size(file_path)
print(file_size)
  

In the above example, we define a function get_file_size that takes a file path as an input. Inside the function, we use the os.path.getsize method to retrieve the size of the file in bytes. If the file doesn’t exist or if there’s an error retrieving the file size, an OSError exception is raised and we return the error message “Unable to retrieve the file size”.

You need to update the file_path variable with the actual path to your file. After calling get_file_size with the file path as its argument, the function will return the size of the file in bytes, which you can then use for further processing or display.
