Thread: skipping empty files using ifstream

it is in C++ programming.

that is c++

im not sure i understand what you have there. The .htm file, can it be replaced by any extension like .txt. what exactly does the stat() function do...

it find the fiel size why dont you run that, and yea
you coudl use any char array, or you can use
string wtih .c_str() on the end so that you can cycle thru the
name you find in a loop, and then do a statment like

if filesize > 0 do this

Well if you want to strict fstream and such, you can like;

Code:

ifstream filehandle("your text files", ios::in | ios::binary  |ios::ate);
size = filehandle.tellg();

Then test size-1 against 0. And I'm sure you could read() or get() from the stream and test for an immediate EOF and get the same effect. According to MSDN we and the CRT have ourselves a filelength function defined in io.h, dunno, and can be read about here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...elengthi64.asp and then of course if we are limiting ourselves to windows you can use the GetFileSize[Ex] function.
