IFSIZE        Conditional branch upon file size comparison

Top  Previous  Next

Form 1

Syntax:

IFSIZE

[ cond ]  GOTO  [ label ]

Arguments:

[ cond ]

Variable or string defining a size condition to test against the internal %comparesize variable.

 

[ label ]

A valid label within the current script file which is branched to if the specified file exists.

Options:

none

 

 

 

Form 2

Syntax:

IFSIZExx

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

Forms:

IFSIZE=

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

 

IFSIZE<

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

 

IFSIZE>

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

 

IFSIZE<=

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

 

IFSIZE>=

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

 

IFSIZE!=

[ size ]  GOTO  [ label ]

Arguments:

[ size  ]

Variable, string, or numeric constant defining a numeric value to compare against the size of the file obtained with the most recently executed GETNEXTFILE, GETFILE, GETSITEFILE, or FTPGETFILE script command.

 

[ label ]

A valid label within the current script file which is branched to if the date condition is satisfied.

Options:

none

 

 

 

Form 1 of this command is used in conjunction with the FILECOMPARETO and FILECOMPAREFROM script commands to test the results of a size comparison of a local file and a file on the FTP site.

 

Form 2 of this command is used in conjunction with the most recently executed GETNEXTFILE, GETFILE, GETSITEFILE, or FTPGETFILE command to compare the size of the file with a specified numeric value.

 

Description for Form 1

Possible result codes stored in %comparesize for the FILECOMPARETO command are listed below:

$ERROR_SRVR_FILE_LARGER

1226

File on server is larger

$ERROR_SRVR_FILE_SMALLER

1226

File on server is smaller

$ERROR_NO_SRVR_FILE_EXISTS

1228

File does not exist on server

$ERROR_SRVR_FILE_EMPTY

1229

File exists on server but its length is 0

$ERROR_FILES_SAME_SIZE

1234

Local and FTP site files identical in size

 

 

Possible result codes stored in %comparesize for the FILECOMPAREFROM command are listed below:

$ERROR_FILES_SAME_SIZE

1234

Local and FTP site files identical in size

$ERROR_LOCAL_FILE_LARGER

1235

Local file is larger

$ERROR_LOCAL_FILE_SMALLER

1236

Local file is smaller  

$ERROR_NO_LOCAL_FILE_EXISTS

1239

Local file does not exist

$ERROR_LOCAL_FILE_EMPTY

1240

Local file exists but length equals 0

 

For example, the following conditional branch is taken if no file on the FTP site is found with the same name as a specified local file:

 

FILECOMPARETO "thatfile"

IFSIZE $ERROR NO SRVR FILE EXISTS GOTO no file

 

Description for Form 2

 

The following conditional branch is taken if a local file just obtained with the GETNEXTFILE command has a size larger than 1000 bytes.

 

GETNEXTFILE "*.txt"

IFSIZE> 1000 GOTO good file

 

Syntactically, no space is permitted to the left of the ‘!’, '=', '<' or '>' symbols, and a space is required to the right of these symbols.
