Add To groups script with Powershell

Hi ALL

I am using the script below with a scheduled task for an application team to add users to their AD group.
What can I add to the script so if the Users.txt file is blank it outputs " No Users requested to be added" to
the AddedToGroup.csv file ?

$(Foreach ($User in GC C:\Powershell\Users.txt){
GC C:\Powershell\Groups.txt | % {
   $Group = $_
   #using try catch to capture the errors
   Try{
        Add-ADGroupmember -identity $Group -member $User -ea stop
	#create custom PS object to output the command status..
        New-Object PSObject -Property @{
	GroupName = $Group
	User = $User
	Status = "Added To Group"
	}
    }Catch{
	New-Object PSObject -Property @{
	GroupName = $Group
	User = $User
	Status = "Account already in the Group or not a valid ID"
	}	
     }
   }
}) | export-csv "C:\Powershell\AddedToGroup_$((Get-Date -Format MM-dd-yyyy-hhmmss)).csv" -NoTypeInformation

  {write-host 'No Users requested to be added'
    exit;
  }

$(Foreach ($User in GC C:\Powershell\Users.txt){
GC C:\Powershell\Groups.txt | % {
   $Group = $_
   #using try catch to capture the errors
   Try{
        Add-ADGroupmember -identity $Group -member $User -ea stop
	#create custom PS object to output the command status..
        New-Object PSObject -Property @{
	GroupName = $Group
	User = $User
	Status = "Added To Group"
	}
    }Catch{

     }
   }
}) | export-csv "C:\Powershell\AddedToGroup_$((Get-Date -Format MM-dd-yyyy-hhmmss)).csv" -NoTypeInformation
