Count 0 Byte Files

[DSTR3A]

I wnat to count the number of 0 byte files in a directory and if the count is equal to or greater than 1, delete them otherwise do nothing. How can I do this? This is windows.
Thank you.

Use FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() to get the names of all the files in the directory. The functions fill a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure which also contains the length of the file. If both the nFileSizeHigh and nFileSizeLow values are zero, then you can delete the file. Use DeleteFile().

Good luck!

Something like this?

HANDLE hFind;
    WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;


    hFind = FindFirstFile(L"C:\\*.zip", &FindData);
    std::wcout << FindData.cFileName;
    return 0;

Fixed:

    HANDLE hFind;
    WIN32_FIND_DATAW FindData;


    hFind = FindFirstFileW(L"C:\\*.zip", &FindData);
    std::wcout << FindData.cFileName;
    return 0;

Is this closer?

#include <Shlwapi.h> // for PathAppend()

void EnumerateFolderFS(LPCTSTR path)
{
   TCHAR searchPath[MAX_PATH];
   // a wildcard needs to be added to the end of the path, e.g. "C:\*"
   lstrcpy(searchPath, path);
   PathAppend(searchPath, _T("*")); // defined in shell lightweight API (v4.71)

   WIN32_FIND_DATA ffd; // file information struct
   HANDLE sh = FindFirstFile(searchPath, &ffd);
   if(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == sh) return; // not a proper path i guess

   // enumerate all items; NOTE: FindFirstFile has already got info for an item
   do {
      cout << "Name = " << ffd.cFileName << endl;
      cout << "Type = " << ( (ffd.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
                             ? "dir\n" : "file\n" );
      cout << "Size = " << ffd.nFileSizeLow << endl;
   } while (FindNextFile(sh, &ffd));

   FindClose(sh);
}
