if [ -f /export/home/INCOME-20020819-*T.zip ] works and I found out before I got any replies. I also need the ? placeholder for other things (since this one won't require it, thanks!). One more question. Now that I can tell there's a file there (since the logic said it found the file), how can I determine the real name of the file (the wildcard lets me know there's a match, but doesn't tell me exactly what the name is of the file it found (should never be but one match))? Please advise.
Thanks.
