Question of checking file size

 
Hello,
        I just started using Ant.  I was wondering if anyone could tell
me how to check a size of a file.
I want to skip a process if a certain file is empty.
 
Thanks
 
Bob

There is nothing explicitly to do that. But there is a <filesmatch> 
condition. If you have a template file that is empty, you could match 
your target file against that, and so know if it is empty too.
