Lua snippet: copy file
local function CopyFile(old_path, new_path)
local old_file = io.open(old_path, "rb")
local new_file = io.open(new_path, "wb")
local old_file_sz, new_file_sz = 0, 0
if not old_file or not new_file then
return false
end
while true do
local block = old_file:read(2^13)
if not block then
old_file_sz = old_file:seek( "end" )
break
end
new_file:write(block)
end
old_file:close()
new_file_sz = new_file:seek( "end" )
new_file:close()
return new_file_sz == old_file_sz
end

In this snippet we see method to get file size:
new_file_sz = new_file:seek( "end" )
