Hi,
I'm trying to find the time of a file by doing this.
filetime=`ls -l --time-style=+%a:%H:%M /tmp/1.txt | awk '{print $6}'`
if [ -z "$filetime"]; then
echo "File does not exist"
else
echo "Time file: $filetime"
fi
However, when the file does not exist and filetime returns an empty
string, it does not evaluate [ -z "$filetime" ] to true
I have also tried the reverse which is
if [ -n "$filetime"]; then
echo "Time file: $filetime"
else
echo "File does not exist"
fi
but I still get the same results.
What does $filetime evaluate to when the command exits with an error?
