have a look at the find command.

something like

Code:
find . -size 0 -exec  mv {}  <targetdir> \;

should be close to what you want

Worked
It worked, but just one more question... how I move files with the size = 70 for example?

Thanks,

-size n means exactly equal to n
-size -n means less than n
-size +n means greater than n
\( -size +n -a -size -m \) means between n and m
