finding 0 byte files in current directory only
Hi Gurus,
I have a directory A, which has some 0 byte files in it.
This directory also has a subdirectory B which also has some 0 byte files in it.
The problem:
I only need to find out the names of the 0 byte files in the directory A.
I'm using the following command
find . -name *.zip -size 0c
This command not only lists the 0 byte files within dorectory A , but also lists the 0 byte files within directory B.
./x001_ameint_BP010F0010_00264_001.zip
./B/x001_ameint_DV010F0065_00264_001.zip
how to get only the 0 byte files in current directory but not in its sub directories.
Please help
thanks
Ram.

rmdel(1) General Commands Manual rmdel(1)
NAME
rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
SID file ...
DESCRIPTION
The command removes the delta specified by the SID from each named SCCS file. The delta to be removed must be the newest (most recent)
delta in its branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file. In addition, the SID specified must be that of a version being edited for
the purpose of making a delta (i.e., if a p-file (see get(1)) exists for the named SCCS file, the SID specified must appear in any entry of
the p-file).
If a directory is named, behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last com-
ponent of the path name does not begin with and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of is given, the standard input is read;
each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file or directory to be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files
are silently ignored. When is specified on the command line, all following arguments are treated as file names.
The permissions to remove a delta are either (1) if you make a delta you can remove it; or (2) if you own the file and directory you can
remove a delta.
