Check inside zip files for empty file
I'm recently noticed that some zip files that I store images on contain some empty image files "0 KB".
I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a quick way to scan a bunch of folders each with several zip each and then show which zip files contain empty files.
Thank you.

Hello icebeast, and welcome to Eight Forums.
Basically you would just need to open the .zip file with the
7-Zip program, and check the size to see if shows as 0 KB.

Use 7z.exe (7-Zip executable). Something like
7z l c:\temp\*.zip
Put it in a batch file and process the output looking for 0 length files. I don't remember offhand how to do this but will see if I can come up with a batch file that works. Maybe someone else can provide it?????

I was looking for something that would check multiple files at once. I've been doing it manually but its taking way too long, at this rate I wont be finished until September.

The command I showed will check all the zip files in that folder. Add the -r switch to recurse directories too.
Try this from the Command line after you install 7-Zip.
7z l d:\temp\*.zip | find " 0 "
Change d:\temp to one of your folders.
