I would like to check if a specific file is empty in a windows .bat file. Here is my non working script :
set dir="C:\test"
set file="%dir%\fff.txt"
cd %dir%
if %file%%~zi == 0 exit
ftp -s:"%dir%\ftp.action"
exit
Could you help me debug this please ?
Or try it with
@echo off
set "dir=C:\temp"
set "file=%dir%\a.txt"
call :CheckEmpty "%file%"
goto :eof
:CheckEmpty
if %~z1 == 0 exit
ftp -s:"%dir%\ftp.action"
goto :eof
The main difference is that I use a function call and use the %~z1, as the modifiers only works for paramters like %1, %2..%9 or for-loop parameters like %%a ...
batch solution using file compare:
type nul > blank
fc myfile blank > nul
if errorlevel 1 echo myfile is not empty
