1. getfileinfo File Size?

I've been searching all through the documentation and forums for an answer to
this.

Can someone point me in the direction of a straightforward way to get a non-open
file's filesize? it seems like it should get returned with the getfileinfo
function, but I can't seem to find any documenation on it?

Thanks!

Have you considered using the Euphoria dir() function?  This returns a 
sequence for each directory entry returned and the size of a member
of each entry's sequence.

For example

sequence file_info

file_info = dir("C:
autoexec.bat") printf(1, "File size: %d", file_info[1][D_SIZE]) <\eucode>

Look here in the documentation: HTML/lib_c_d.htm#dir

-- Demo
include file.e
object x
sequence fileName

fileName = "test.txt"
x = dir(fileName)
if atom(x) then
   printf(1, "File '%s' not found.", {fileName})
else
   printf(1, "Size of file '%s' is %d bytes.", {fileName, x[1][D_SIZE]})
end if
