Hi All,
Is there any way to validate empty file while we upload it on SAIL Interface?
Appian returns '< 1 KB' as output for empty file or any file upto 100 bytes.
so how to validate a empty file?

Thanks in Advance.

One option would be to read the file contents and do a null check / length check. Text File Reader plugin - forum.appian.com/.../summary

Can you elaborate the use case or requirement? Have you considered using the "Required" parameter?

@Jordan - file can be of any extension, but if any file, suppose a 'txt' file is uploaded but it does not contain any contents inside of it, i need to validate it as an empty file.
