Basically, i need to write to a log file (not continuously) and when that gets to a certain size, create a new one. How can i check the size of the file? Can I do this without reading the entire content?

Check out the method java.io.File.length(). I think this will do what you want.



Alternatively, you could count the number of bytes that you write out to the log file as it's being written, and when it hits your maximum, create a new one.
