Oops. Forgot about Obstreperous Server Mangulation(TM) & the url had a
space in it.
The correct url is:
<
http://home.netc.net.au/~sunreal/FooDooLounge/code/
numerics.html#convertByteSize>
And I'll try the routine again:
-- convertByteSize -- by Nigel Garvey & Richard Morton, 2002 --
-- Convert bytes to a readable string in bytes-K-MB-GB as required.
-- Pass the number in bytes. Returns string.
to convertByteSize on theRawSize
set oneK to 2 ^ 10
set oneMB to 2 ^ 20
set oneGB to 2 ^ 30
tell theRawSize to if it >= oneGB then
return ((it div oneGB) & "." & text 2 thru 3 of ((100 + ((it mod
oneGB) div (oneK * 1.0E+4))) as string) & " GB") as string
else if it >= oneMB then
return ((it div oneMB) & "." & text 2 thru 3 of ((100 + ((it mod
oneMB) div (oneK * 10))) as string) & " MB") as string
else if it >= oneK then
return (it div oneK & " KB") as string
else
return (it & " bytes") as string
end if
end convertByteSize
To call it:
set displaySize to convertByteSize on 1.66E+9
--> "1.57 GB"
