unix command pipe
I am pretty new to UNIX. My client has a requirement where in a directory we have some files with somewhat similar name
like test_XX.txt, test_XY.txt, test_XZ.txt, test_ZZ.txt, test_ZY.txt, test_ZX.txt, test_YY.txt......Out of these files
few files have 0 bytes. Is there a way where we can go ahead and remove those files which start with "test"[as that is the only common string in the file name] and have 0 bytes size. I tried the following commands:
find . -type f -size 0 | xargs rm [It removed all the files irrespective of name with 0 byte size]
Is there a solution for this?

ATR_ANALYSIS(1p) User Commands ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)
NAME
ATR_analysis - analyse a smart card ATR
SYNOPSIS
ATR_analysis [ATRstring]
DESCRIPTION
ATR_analysis is used to parse the ATR (Answer To Reset) sent by a smart card.
The command also tries to find the card model using an ATR database stored in a text file smartcard_list.txt.
The smartcard_list.txt file is searched in ./, /usr/local/pcsc/ and /usr/share/pcsc/ directories.
Exemple:
$ ATR_analysis '3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52'
ATR: 3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
+ TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
+ T0 = A7, Y(1): 1010, K: 7 (historical bytes)
TB(1) = 00 --> Programming Param P: 0, I: 0
TD(1) = 40 --> Y(i+1) = 0100, Protocol T = 0
-----
TC(2) = 18 --> Work waiting time: 960 x 24 x (Fi/F)
+ Historical bytes: 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
Possibly identified card:
3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
