files with no-text

Post by nikolas1612 »

got a number of files. some of them are blank (having no text inside, 0 bytes). Can I somehow identify these files by TP and write a certain phrase inside them?
So far it seems TP doesn't process such files at all.

Is there any way to identify a blank file by perl regex? (\A\z or smth of the kind)? Thanks.

You could use a perl regex of

Code: Select all

It doesn't work.
At least in search-&-perlace filter

I've attached a work-around.

Naturally you can disable the prompt when you get it doing what you need.
