problem with getting file sizes in Applescript,

set theFile to "/Users/steve/testfile.csv"
set theSize to last word of (do shell script ("mdls -name kMDItemFSSize " & theFile)) as number

Returns:

tell current application
do shell script "mdls -name kMDItemFSSize /Users/steve/testfile.csv"
--> "kMDItemFSSize = 143"
end tell
Result:
143

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?

And it is this......

Existence that multiplied itself

For sheer delight of being

And plunged with numberless trillions of forms

So that it might

find

itself

innumerably
