checking count of files and exiting
Hi All

Please see the script below

for file in ${filelist[*]}; do
if [[ -a $ftppath/$file ]]; then
if [[ -n $verbose ]]; then
print " $(date) STEP 6 ------- Copying $file to $destpath"
fi
if ! cp $ftppath/$file $destpath 2> /dev/null; then
writeToLog "ERROR: ${0##*/} - $upartition Could not copy file $file"
if [[ -n $verbose ]]; then
print "ERROR: $upartition Could not copy file $file"
fi
return 1
fi
else
filenotfound='true'
if [[ -n $verbose ]]; then
print "Did not find $file"
fi
writeToLog "ERROR: ${0##*/} - $upartition Did not find $file"
fi
done

In for loop it checks that if the file is there it then copies the files to a different directory.

I need to put a check before that that if the any of the file has a size 0 byte then it should exit the loop.

and process should stop.

Kindly help

Use code tags when posting code, logs or data, ty.

Check this out, the -s is what you are looking for:
File test operators

To exit a loop use the break. To work on the next element in the for loop use continue.
