Hi,
First off I usually script in the bash shell.
Ok, in my script I am checking to see if the filename has a .txt extension.
So I was trying:

Code:

if [ ! -e "*txt" ]
then
    echo "Must contain a valid .txt extension"
fi

and

Code:

if [ "-f" -eq *[txt] ]
then
    echo "Must contain a valid .txt extension"
fi

But no go the first example sort of works but it always echo out the statement.

added code tags for readability --oombera
