: : DOS How to delete files less than a minimum size : : in batch run. : : : : I do not think size is an attribute, but I : : create an output file in a program and then on : : the fly need to delete it if less than say, 10 : : bytes. If it is larger than that more than : : likely it is a good file, but when the program : : crashes on outputting a table (file) : : that is invalid the size is 1 to 5 bytes. : : I need to delete that file. Then when that file : : is copied with other output files, the copy : : command will give an errormessage, say : : errorlevel 1, since it cannot find one of the : : files, in a multiple copy together command, and : : the batch will abort. : ## : Try this: : dir | find " " : (Note: There are exactly 17 spaces between the two double-quote marks). : On my computer running XP Pro, this command returns a listing of all the files in the current directory that are 9-bytes or less.
