Thanks, that works for me.
I really wonder what searches you did: help.search("file") come up with
file.info.
I did a Google search for "R check file empty", "R check file size" and
similar. Then I tried one of those R specific searches you can find on the
web.
Then I did a help.search("empty"). Probably not the best search term. It
didn't occur to me to search for "file".
Faheem.
