Find the size of a single specific file

As I'm a newbie to UNIX, very newbie in fact, could anyone humour me and tell me how I'd find just the file size in bytes for a specific file?

Or at least just the specific line from the ls -a for the file - call it file1

I know this sounds bad but I don't seem to be getting very far at this one. How does one normally go about this simple task (I want to use the file size in a calculation)

disktab - disk description file SYNOPSIS
#include <disktab.h> DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple date base which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. The format is patterned after the term- cap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:' separated fields. The first entry for each disk gives the names which are known for the disk, separated by `|' characters. The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk. The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry.
