Delphi Check File Size
Function FileSize ( var FileHandle: File; ): Integer; Description. The FileSize function gives the size in records of an open file. Before this function can be used, the file must be assigned a handle by using AssignFile and opened using Append, Reset or ReWrite routines. The FileSize function returns the size of a file, in bytes -- a useful result for certain file-handing applications within a Delphi program. Get File Size The FileSize function returns the size of a file in bytes; the function returns -1 if the file was not found. Use the Win32 API SHChangeNotifyRegister function to watch for changes in the temp folder, and then have your callback check if your temporary files are reporting changes. Since you know the exact file(s) you are interested in, you can manually monitor them directly for changes to their sizes and timestamps using FindFirstFile in a timer or thread. I am trying to check whether a text file is empty or not. There is a function in TP which is called 'FileSize' that can be used to get the size of the file in byte. Unfortunalety this function cannot be used for text file. Does anybody know a way of writing similar function for text files. Delphi Programming; idFTP client - checking it the files exist.

My app contains documents in its database. The users can open the documents in which case, the document gets saved to a temporary folder and gets opened on the user's computer.
I'd like to get a notification when one of these temporary files are changed, and offer the user to save the changed document back to the database.
What is the most simple way to do this in Delphi7? (I suppose it requires some shell magic or 3rd party component)
Thanks!

You can either:
use the Win32 API SHChangeNotifyRegister function to watch for changes in the temp folder, and then have your callback check if your temporary files are reporting changes.
since you know the exact file(s) you are interested in, you can manually monitor them directly for changes to their sizes and timestamps using FindFirstFile in a timer or thread.
You can detect changes in your temporary files (or any file) using the TJvChangeNotify
component from the JEDI JVCL collection.

in the JvChangeNotify
unit makes use of the FindFirstChangeNotification
API call; this is the MSDN documentation. Note it is a bit counter-intuitive: see the thread mentioned below on how to use it inside a while loop.

There is also the ReadDirectoryChanges
