filesize - Using C++ filestreams (fstream), how can you determine the size of a file? - Stack Overflow

#include <fstream>
#include <limits>

ifstream file;
file.open(name,std::ios::in|std::ios::binary);
file.ignore( std::numeric_limits<std::streamsize>::max() );
std::streamsize length = file.gcount();
file.clear();   //  Since ignore will have set eof.
file.seekg( 0, std::ios_base::beg );
