Empty File, but may contain blank line(s)

[handyt2]

I have to process incoming files in a landing folder.

I use method similar to this to detect if the file is empty, I won't process it.

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

the problem is, sometimes files can contain 1 or 2 blank lines..

and i consider this empty files as well.. 

so what's a good method of detecting that file contains (any) number of blank lines ..?

Thanx ..

How about a simple FileRead?

$sFile = @DesktopDir & "\Test.txt"
$sString = FileRead($sFile)
 MsgBox(0, "", ($sString = "") ? "File is empty." : "File contains data of some sort.")

handyt2,

One way to do it...

ConsoleWrite((_IsFileEmpty(@scriptdir & '\test.txt') ) ? 'No' & @CRLF : 'Yes' & @CRLF)

func _IsFileEmpty($file)
    return stringlen(stringreplace(fileread($file),@crlf,''))
endfunc

and another...

ConsoleWrite((_IsFileEmpty(@scriptdir & '\test.txt') ) ? 'No' & @CRLF : 'Yes' & @CRLF)

func _IsFileEmpty($file)
    return (stringregexp(fileread($file),'.')) ? 1 : 0
endfunc

Thanx all.. 

I opted for the Regexp .. i tested with a file with lots of blank lines & still works
