File size / copy file / ...

Is it possible to do a file size check on a certain file using scripts? I also would like to know if its possible to copy a file (move it from one to another dir).... and last but not least, would it be possible to check if a certain file is an image or not? I don't mean check if it ends with .jpg, but check if it actually contains image data (ok, i don't think its possible, but no harm in asking ;) )

I was pulling a jpg file from a webserver to use it as a texture. The problem was if it failed I had an empty jpg file (well it was 4kb, but it was corrupt)...and that crashed the game. But now I built in a check so it no longer writes the file if the download fails... problem solved.

Sounds like a much better solution. :)

Either to check a buffer, or a file on the disc.
Why do I need this? Well, I'm trying the same thing as Ward does - but instead of a tiny JPG it's a Patch.
I'm trying to make a progress bar for it, but haven't found a way to measure the file size of the patch or the buffer, for that matter.

I still want to know this same feature, if it exists.Either to check a buffer, or a file on the disc.
