add a particular string to particular files
Hiii

I wanted to add a particular string using grep to all the files of a specific size

say
add a string empty to files of zero size

would appreciate if u could use "find" me not comfortable with sed or awk.

Thanks

Use a loop and the find command with the -size option.
Have a read of some shell scripting tutorials:
