Code:
if [ -f "$File.xml"]; then should be Code:
if [ -f "$File.xml" ] ; then Note the whitespace after ..xml" and before ] Code:
mv projects.xml ../program should preferrably be Code:
mv "$File.xml" ../program |

See what happens in the debugging mode Enable the debug option. Put a Code:
set -x before the "if [ -f.." and Code:
set +x after the "fi" |
