if clause

hi,
pls could you help me with one program in KSH ( i have sunOS).
I need to create an If clause, that prints an error message and filenames, when in a directory are found some files of null size (find . -type f -size 0 ).

thanks

echo "non empty"
else
echo "empty"

Foogle, you are missing an 'fi' in your 'if' statement.

In any event, the OP wants to inquire a directory for zero length files:
Code:
for mZeroFile in `find . -type f -size 0`
do
  echo 'Empty file = '${mZeroFile}
done
