check file size

[Leo The Cat]

Hi

I'm in a ksh script. I need to test the size of a file.

Is there a way with if [[ -s file .....

What is the syntax ?

I would use something like:

FSIZE=$(ls -la $FILE | awk '{print $5}')
if [ $FSIZE <-lt|-eq|-ne|-gt> ]
then

fi

if [ -s filename ]
the condition is true if the file exist and has a size greater than zero.
