How can I check if a file is empty?

Question

I have thousands of text files and would like to know how to check if a particular file is empty. I am reading all the files using this line of code

Y<-grep(\         


        

Answer 1

find . -empty 

or

find . -empty |awk -F\/ '{print $FN}'

If you want to limit just txt files:

find . -empty -name "*.txt"

If you want only asci files (not just .txt)

find . -empty -type f

put it all together:

find . -empty -type f -name "*.txt" |awk -F\/ '{print $NF}'
