Hi,
Check out Batfile tricks at:
http://home7.inet.tele.dk/batfiles/
There is a section as follows:
30. Determine if a file is a 0 byte file without deleting it.
:: is0byte.bat
@ECHO off
COPY>nul %1 nul |FIND "1 file(s) copied"
IF not errorlevel=1 ECHO %1 is not a 0 byte file
IF errorlevel=1 ECHO %1 is a 0 byte file
<<...OLE_Obj...>>
:: is0byte2.bat
COPY %1 nul |FIND " 0 file" >nul
IF not errorlevel=1 ECHO %1 is a 0 byte file
IF errorlevel=1 ECHO %1 is not a 0 byte file
