determining file size?

Hi,

I'm listing files in a directory, but I want to show more than just the filename (like file size and may be creation date). I've searched for some time on the Internet, but I can't find the answer. How to do this?

I've tried this:
    aFile := (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: directoryName)
            assureExistence;
            readOnlyFileNamed: 'testfile.pdf'.
    and then tried: aFile size but that doesn't seem to work.

Regards,
Van.

File size is an attribute of the file's entry in its directory.

See fileSize method in DirectoryEntry class. If you already have a file handle
or a stream opened on it, use directoryEntry method. E.g.

  stream directoryEntry fileSize
