October 7, 201114 yr Anyone know the difference between the two? Also, if I wanted to make an exact copy of a file, would File.getTotalSpace() necessarily have to be the same between the copies, especially between different operating systems? 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪
October 7, 201114 yr [spoiler=length]lengthpublic long length()Returns the length of the file denoted by this abstract pathname. The return value is unspecified if this pathname denotes a directory. Returns:The length, in bytes, of the file denoted by this abstract pathname, or 0L if the file does not exist. Some operating systems may return 0L for pathnames denoting system-dependent entities such as devices or pipes. [spoiler=getTotalSpace]getTotalSpacepublic long getTotalSpace()Returns the size of the partition named by this abstract pathname. Returns:The size, in bytes, of the partition or 0L if this abstract pathname does not name a partition You Probably want to use length because from what I can tell getTotalSpace is for checking information on Drives (and possibly folders) Contained disk space.
