Hi,

I am writing a bash script. At the beginning of the script there is a user defined variable which is a directory in which processed data will be moved. When running the script I would like to immediately make sure that the directory exists, and if not the script will error. The following code should do that:

OUTDIR='/Users/msb65/test_data'

if [ -d $OUT_DIR ]; then
echo '- OUT_DIR exists'
else
echo; echo; echo 'ERROR: OUT_DIR does not exist'
exit 1
fi

However, this test does NOT seem to be case sensitive. How can I make it so it is? Thanks.

Mike
