I had unexpected results when using File::read to get the file size.
It does indeed return the file size but also outputs the contents of the file to screen.
Am I missing something? I can reproduce the behavior as follows. 1) Setup a clean install
2) Change action_index in Controller_Welcome to:

 public function action_index()
 {
  $path     = APPPATH.'config/test.php';
  $filesize = File::read($path);
  Debug::dump($filesize);

  $this->response->body = View::factory('welcome/index');
 }

3) Create file APPPATH/config/test.php with the following contents:

<?php

return array (

 'test_key1' => 'test data 1',
 'test_key2' => 'test data 2',
 'test_key3' => 'test data 3',
);
/* End of file temp.php */

A screenshot of the results.

The docs aren't entirely complete on this, when $as_string is set to false the file's contents are added to the output without going through PHP. When the $as_string param is true the contents are returned. It's 2 ways of reading the file: either by direct output or by returning it as a string, not meant for getting the filesize.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Guess I'll do it the old fashioned way

$filesize = filesize($filename);

The File class now has some new method like get_size and get_permission on the develop branch and the soon to come RC3, just so you know.

@FrenkyNet, Thanks, I'll check it out. I've been trying to settle on one framework since the first of the year. Fuel is it!
Great support, great community, great developers and a really great framework.

I keep getting an error when using the File class. Not sure if it's me (as usual) or Fuel.
In a clean install of RC3 I changed action_index in Controller_Welcome to:

 public function action_index()
{
  $area = \File::instance('my_area');
  $this->response->body = View::factory('welcome/index');
 }

Then, I added file.php to app/config with the following contents:

<?php

return array(
 // inside app/config/file.php
 'areas' => array(
  'my_area' => array(
   'basedir'  => DOCROOT.'uploads',
   'use_locks'  => true,
  ),
 ),
);
/* End of file file.php */

Lastly, I created directory public/uploads.
Calling welcome/index reaps the following:

Notice!

ErrorException [ Notice ]: Object of class Fuel\Core\File_Area could not be converted to int

COREPATH/classes/file.php @ line 49:

48:{
49: static::$areas[$name] = \File_Area::factory($config) + static::$base_area;
50: }

What am I doing wrong?
