    count words and empty files

    Hello,

    I will count words in a file (or more files) and count (if given up) empty files (test -z?), how can I do this? Like this:
    There are "108" words in "3" files
    There are "2" empty files

    Thanks for your reaction.

    Regards,

    Arjan Engbers
