Is there an easy way to manually (ie. not through code) find the size

  • 0

Is there an easy way to manually (ie. not through code) find the size (in bytes, KB, etc) of a block of selected text? Currently I am taking the text, cutting/pasting into a new text document, saving it, then clicking ‘properties’ to get an estimate of the size.

I am developing mainly in visual studio 2008 but I need any sort of simple way to manually do this.

Note: I understand this is not specifically a programming question but it’s related to programming. I need this to compare a few functions and see which one is returning the smallest amount of text. I only need to do it a few times so figured writing a method for it would be overkill.
