How to check if a file is empty in Bash?

Question

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.

Answer 1

Easiest way for checking file is empty or not:

if [ -s /path-to-file/filename.txt ]
then
     echo "File is not empty"
else
     echo "File is empty"
fi

You can also write it on single line:

[ -s /path-to-file/filename.txt ] && echo "File is not empty" || echo "File is empty"
