Hi,

I have multiple files in a directory. Each file will have a header.I have to check if any of the files has 0 rows other than the header then I have to delete the files.
Here “ Empty file” in my case means a file has header information but no data. I have to delete such files.
If the file count =1 then delete the files else cp the files from one location to another.

#!/bin/bash
cd filepath
rc=`awk '{n++} END {print n}' file1.csv`
if [ $rc -ne 1 ]; then
`cp /file1.csv file1path/file2.csv`
exit $rc 
else 
`rm -rf file1.csv`    
fi

Try this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
cd filepath
for x in `ls -1 *.csv`
do
  line_count=`wc -l $x`
  if [[ $line_count -gt 1 ]] then
    cp $x target_path/$x
  else
    rm -rf $x
  fi
done

Thanks for the script. It worked!
