Re: How do I test whether a file has some contents or not?

[ybiC]

Filetest operators can be found at perlfunc:_X.   Just a day or so ago swiftone showed me the "_" shortcut for performing multiple tests on one file.   Yet another way to look at it.

if (-s $file && -T _) {
    # do stuff with text file > 0bytes
    }
if (-s $file && -B _) {
    # do stuff with binary file > 0bytes
    }
