I have a file called diff.txt. I Want to check whether it is empty.
I wrote a bash script something like below, but I couldn\'t get it work.
While the other answers are correct, using the "-s" option will also show the file is empty even if the file does not exist.
By adding this additional check "-f" to see if the file exists first, we ensure the result is correct.
if [ -f diff.txt ]
then
if [ -s diff.txt ]
then
rm -f empty.txt
touch full.txt
else
rm -f full.txt
touch empty.txt
fi
else
echo "File diff.txt does not exist"
fi
