Hi, Using a bash shell script (/bin/sh), I need to know how to check to see if certain files exist in a directory, as in, "Are there any jpegs in this directory?". I've tried various things (like using -s, -f with test and a do/for loop) but nothing seems to work right. The closest I can come is
if test `ls /opt/images/*.jpg | wc -l` -gt 0 then ... Unfortunately, this gives me the error message "ls: /opt/images/*.jpg: No such file or directory" when there are no jpegs in /opt/images. So what am I missing here? Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
