Hi,

I'm using:-

data= [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[openPanel filename]];

In the Finder the file's length is 121,064 bytes but my data length is
47,692. After much messing about trying to find where I went wrong I
opened the terminal and the file size is actually 47,692.

I thought that the Finders "Get Info" panel displayed the actual size of
the file in brackets not the space occupied on disk.

Is this a thing with my Intel iMac (10.4.6) or is it like that on PPC
also?

Thanks,

Paul
