Hello, first post (in a long time) ...
I thought to do something like:
if [ -f myfile* ]; then # do something fi
That's to find if there are one or more like myfile001, myfile002, but it reports an error "too many arguments" if there is more than one. Any simple/elegant way to do this?
Well, with a wildcard at the end there it seems unlikely that such an expression could ever return true in any case.
You're probably stuck with
if [ -f myfile001 ] || [ -f myfile002 ] ...; then
# do something
fiMaybe one of those on the list who are more experienced with Bash scripting can offer you a better solution.
