[Pharo-project] [ANN] Bytes, a convenience to print the size of things
Hi there, I've published a package to help printing measures of bytes in a human readable fashion. Here is is: http://www.squeaksource.com/Bytes Examples: 2 gigabytes asMegabyteString "will give you '2048 MB' if you print it" for those who have stored half of the galaxy its range goes from kilo to yatto enjoy sebastian PS: it uses Aconcagua as foundation so be sure to install it first
neat :) May be you should create a metacello configuration for it. On Jun 12, 2010, at 5:03 PM, sebastian@flowingconcept.com wrote:

Just FYI, there's also a single-method version of this behavior which has been available in the "Ma base additions" package for some years now.. maAsBytesDescription | suffixes | suffixes := { 'k'"ilobytes". 'M'"egabytes". 'G'"igabytes". 'T'"erabytes". 'P'"etabytes". 'E'"xabytes". 'Z'"ettabytes". 'Y'"ottabytes"}. suffixes size to: 1 by: -1 do: [ : index | | units | units := 1000 raisedTo: index. self > units ifTrue: [ ^ ((self / units) asFloat roundTo: 0.01) asString, (suffixes at: index) ] ]. ^ self asString On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 10:03 AM, <sebastian@flowingconcept.com> wrote:
