-z?  I think you wanted to use -n here, like at the other places.

Oh, yes, sorry.  This was a mistake.  Thanks for catching it.

Nit: why "if [[ ... ]]"?  FWIW "if [ ... ]" would be enough.

Because you don't need to quote variables with [[ ... ]] --- e.g. [
$lines = 0 ] fails, though in this case this feature does not matter

--- and because [[ ... ]] is faster.

Bash 4.1.5:

time (for (( i = 0; i < 200000; i++ )); do [ -z $foo ]; done)

real    0m3.430s
user    0m3.240s
sys     0m0.180s

time (for (( i = 0; i < 200000; i++ )); do [[ -z $foo ]]; done)

real    0m2.219s
user    0m2.090s
sys     0m0.100s

Zsh 4.3.10:

time (for (( i = 0; i < 2000000; i++ )); do [ -z $foo ]; done)

(; for ((i = 0; i < 2000000; i++ )) do; [ -z $foo ]; done; )  13.56s
user 1.64s system 99% cpu 15.327 total

time (for (( i = 0; i < 2000000; i++ )); do [[ -z $foo ]]; done)

(; for ((i = 0; i < 2000000; i++ )) do; [[ -z $foo ]]; done; )  4.62s
user 0.01s system 99% cpu 4.644 total

Is there a reason to prefer [ ... ] ?
