Just remove the code echo " and " >> a.out and your loop should process them all.
If you are concenerned by the del during testing, you could just issue a dir of the file instead.
I hope that this helps,

I'm trying to figure out a way to delete empty files in a directory. I have a cron that runs and creates a flat file every 15 mins. However, most times at night the flat file will be empty.
I'd like to run a script to delete empty files that end with *.dat
Any suggestions?

uudemon.cleanu
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)
NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.
RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
