In bash:
I know that you can use [ -f file ] to check for file, but is there
something similar to check if there are any matches to a wild card?
i.e. [ -? file* ]
Not directly (as a predicate), but you could achieve it with something
along the lines of:
if [ ! -z "`ls -d file* 2> /dev/null`" ]; then
echo "some file(s) matched"
else
echo "no files matched"
fi
