zero bytes files

[Blisk]

Problem is because sometimes I get 2 files with zero bytes and next one is like 10Kb.
in this case it means software still works and I don't need to reboot PC.
so when that happend script should only delete all zero bytes files and leave counter at zero

What do you mean 'next one'?

[Blisk]

like this
12/02/2019 20:43:02.16 0 bytes dat_2019_02_12_20_35_34.log
12/02/2019 20:43:02.17 0 bytes dat_2019_02_12_20_35_36.log
12/02/2019 20:43:02.19 0 bytes dat_2019_02_12_20_35_37.log
12/02/2019 20:43:02.20 0 bytes dat_2019_02_12_20_35_38.log
12/02/2019 20:43:02.23 10 Kbytes dat_2019_02_12_20_35_39.log

So now the script must analyse all files, and if there is a nonzero size file next after a zero size file, then do nothing? This is too complex for batch. Sorry.

Ok than please do it only with zero bytes files that will still make easier for me. Like you show me your logs
I will go down sometimes with false flag but still better than everytime when software stops to work.

If you have some zero byte files, and a later nonzero, and then later zero size files, what then?

nothing leave until last 5 files are zero, than delete all zero bytes files and reboot

Is the folder full of files? What if there are 100 files?

yes there is about 100 files.
I have an idea how to solve this I will try with my lame knowledge, to solve this with script, I will be glad if you improve it.
I will try something and if it works I will paste it here.

So, really, we need to put the files in date/time order, from first to last, and look at the last 5 files? If there are less than 5 zero size files among these, do nothing. If there are 5 (all of the last 5 files are zero size), delete all zero size files, add 1 to counter, and reboot? Repeat until counter = 3, then send email? This is not so hard and I know a way with VBS that is simple.

I don't know to many people who increase their knowledge without trying to solve a problem. If a teacher just gave you the answers, you would learn nothing.

Ok I finally have time to complete this, I think this is a script which works, I tested it and it works.
I know it should be better written but this is as far as I know to do it
I be glad if Salmon improve it.
