Does anyone know how I can get a file size into a variable in a DOS batch file? I need to test for a 0 byte file.

This is a file found in the Library. With a little tweaking..... 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 :: 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 Hope this is of help.

It may be in "The World Library", but it comes from this page: http://bigfoot.com/~batfiles/main/batricks.htm 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 :: 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 If you want to get the file size into a variable, see #62 on this page: http://bigfoot.com/~batfiles/main/batchfaq.htm
