Here's what I have but i'm getting some errors #!/bin/bash
if ! (-e b.txt);
then
mv a.txt b.txt
exit
fi
#The previous commands checks to see if b.txt is NOT already there, if
NOT, it renames a.txt to b.txt
#If the script gets here, b.txt EXISTS..........
# does_exist is a recursive function....looking at b.txt(i) ......the
first b.txt(some number) it finds NOT existing...it creates....
set i = 1
does_exist()
{
if (-e b.txt.$1);
then
i = i +1
does_exist
else
mv a.txt b.txt.$i
exit
fi
}
