Post printing and deleting using awk
I am trying to print and delete at the same time 0KB files... using following command

a-> find . -type f | xargs ls -l | awk '{ if($5 == 0) {print $0;}}' | xargs rm $0

but am not successful. Can somebody tell me how to do this ... same time I need files to be printed as well deleted later.

I used tee command as well like this

b-> ListFilesZKB | tee | xargs rm $0

where ListFilesZKB is shell script for (a) excluding last pipe.
