How to delete all files with a file size lower equal 210 bytes?

| I want to delete all files in a certain directory (say /var/users/karl )
which have a file size lower equal 210 bytes.
How do I do this in a shell script (with one command)?

Since you've posted this to comp.os.linux.misc, you presumably
have GNU find. If that's the case, you should be able to use
something like:
`find . -size -211c -exec rm {} \;`
or some variant thereof.

Oops, make that: `find /var/users/karl -size -211c -exec rm {} \;`
