Re: Bash Script Ques

[Ben Duncan]

Actually a quicker way would be:

#!/bin/sh
# Script
for file in `ls myfile*`
 do
      DO SOMTHING HERE
 done

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?

Thanks,
Michael
