Identify Empty File in Skill

amaru

Hi everyone,

I reading a file by following command:

while(gets(LinValue myFile)

;;; body 

);while ends

When file is empty, I am getting following error : 

*Error* range: argument #1 should be a number (type template = "n") - nil
*Error* load: error while loading file - "*string*"

I am checking the file with isFile(myFile), but my file exists but is empty. How can I check if file is empty using SKILL? or any other solution to this problem.

Thanks in advance

Amar

    Hi Amar,

    you can use the SKILL function fileLength to identify the number of bytes of a file.
