Re: checking if file is empty or not

[lolindrath]

hmm, this works but is probably inefficient.

open FILE, "Filename" || die;
@file = <FILE>;
close FILE;
$file = join( "", @file);
if ( $file ne "" )
{
    #there's something there!
}

Just thought I'd pose another solution

There are file operators out there that will test the size and/or if it's an empty file already created, and there is no need to create a new way to do it.
It's good to know that you are thinking, and I am happy that you are willing to participate, but there is a reason why laziness is a virtue. :)
