I have a directory with files in it. The first 3 letters of the file

letter of the group followed by a * to mean its a prefix lookup. But
when I run it I get a message "NO match" that is not issued by the
script. Its like * is not allowed as input.
Looking for sample .sh code for handling this standard type of lookup or
some online tutorial that has sample code for bourne shell programming.
Here is the code
prefix_name1=$1
prefix_name2=`echo -n "${prefix_name1}" | sed 's/*.*$//'`
echo "prefix_name1 = ${prefix_name1}"
echo "prefix_name2 = ${prefix_name2}"
if [ ${prefix_name1} -nq ${prefix_name2} ]; then
echo "prefix_name2 = ${prefix_name2}"
fi
exerr "hard stop"
Here is the test and out put
# >admin cell*
admin: No match.
