I have a file having data around 5GB. I tried to get size of the file using get-content $path2 | Measure-Object method. But its taking more time as Get-Content cmdlet is present.
Is there method to get the size of this kind of file very quickly. I would like to get the file size using Properties of a file using Get-ItemProperty.
Can anyone suggest me on this?
Is there a reason why you MUST use get-itemproperty?
in that case I guess I would write: get-itemproperty .\filename.txt -name length
...and then parse the output or pipe it.
.
A better choice would be to use the
get-childitem command and parse the output from that. Something like:
get-childitem .\filename.txt | select length
...but this gives you an extra line that you don't want, so refine it with
get-childitem .\filename.txt | % ( $_.length )
yeah, that looks better.
