command line to cron file

I found some command line code for deleting 0 byte files from a server but I don't know what type of file extension to save it as so I can run it as a cron job?
Code:
find directory -maxdepth 1 -size 0 -delete -type F -mtime +1
#command #cron #file #line

    If you are running it on linux it doesn't matter the extension. What does matter is the permissions.

    Try saving it as "command.sh" and then run "chmod +x command.sh"

      And add blank line in the end of the file, because sometimes the command is not run if there is no blank line.

    Run the command `crontab -e` to edit your cron jobs and enter that into a new line in the file like
    @daily find directory...
    Run `man crontab` to read the instructions on how it works. Also try superuser.com for more specific questions.
