The File.* macro functions return a string so the string returned by File.length() needs to be converted into a number before it can be used in a boolean expression. This conversion is done automatically when you use File.length() in an assignment statement, for example
length = File.length(path);
if (length < 9999) {
Or use the parseInt() function to convert the string into a number, for example
if (parseInt(File.length(path)) < 9999) {
