Shell Programming and Scripting

find . -size 0 -exec rm {} +

Of course. That was the question that was asked. And it is the same no matter what size you use or whether you use \; or +.

If you want a different size, that can easily be accommodated:

Code:

size=$1
find . -size "$size" -exec rm {} +

If you have a one command slim version for this, I can built it in my scripts:

Code:

size=0

Why do you set size to 0 when you redefine it on the next line?

size=`ls -l "file.txt | awk -F" " '{ print $5 }'`

Why are you using two external commands (ls and awk)?

Code:

size=$( wc -c < file.txt)

if [ $size -gt 478 ];
then ((d++));
fi

If it worked for you, you didn't run what you posted.

You have an unmatched double quote: "file.txt

"loose"??? Do you mean "lose"?

You lose all quotes but the last level. (Previewing has nothing to do with it.)

for i in *;do
if [ ! -s $i ];then
rm $i
fi
done

Your script will fail if any filenames contain spaces.

Code:

if [ ! -s "$i" ];then
  rm "$i"
fi
