What is wrong with

file.create("foo")
[1] TRUE
file.info("foo")$size
[1] 0
file.remove("foo")

?

I really wonder what searches you did: help.search("file") come up with file.info.

Is there a way to check whether a file is empty in R. I did the customary searches, but did not find anything. Please cc me on any reply.
