I had no idea that putting the 2 commands on the same line would make such a difference in how the logic works.
Thank you so much for all your help and for taking the time to figure this out for me.
Have a great week.

Something as simple as writing two commands on the same line could be causing the problem.

Try copy-pasting it. If that doesn’t work, post your new version here.

I ran a test with your changes and the correct message is displayed when the files are greater than 0 bytes. However, when I test it with files with 0 bytes I get an error message that states “echo was unexpected at this time.”

I tried fixing the below statement but still no luck.

for %%f in (*.*) do ( if %%~zf lss 1 ( set emptyFiles=1 echo %%f

I need this batch file to do an additional task; If files are in the folder and all are greater
than zero bytes I would like to echo a message, “No Empty Files found”.
Everything I have tried have not worked. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

@ECHO OFF
CD C:temp
if exist *.* goto CHKFILELEN
if not exist *.* goto MESSAGE

:CHKFILELEN
for %%f in (*.*) do (if %%~zf lss 1 echo %%f)
goto END

:MESSAGE
echo “No Files in folder”
goto END

:END
