Searching list of entries in file for actual files in dir

Hi all,

I have a file entries.txt that contains a number of entries all on seperate lines e.g.

test1
test2
test3
test4

Then in a directory called /TestFiles I have a number of files that could contain the above text in the file name

e.g. qwertytest1.csv qwertytest2.csv qwertytest3.csv

How can I search the entries.txt to see if if the entries exist in the TestFiles directory?

Thanks,

DCHECK(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 DCHECK(8)

NAME
dcheck - file system directory consistency check SYNOPSIS
dcheck [ -i numbers ] [ filesystem ] DESCRIPTION
Dcheck reads the directories in a file system and compares the link-count in each i-node with the number of directory entries by which it is referenced. If the file system is not specified, a set of default file systems is checked. The -i flag is followed by a list of i-numbers; when one of those i-numbers turns up in a directory, the number, the i-number of the direc- tory, and the name of the entry are reported. The program is fastest if the raw version of the special file is used, since the i-list is read in large chunks. SEE ALSO
filsys(5), clri(8), fsck(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8) DIAGNOSTICS
When a file turns up for which the link-count and the number of directory entries disagree, the relevant facts are reported. Allocated files which have 0 link-count and no entries are also listed. The only dangerous situation occurs when there are more entries than links; if entries are removed, so the link-count drops to 0, the remaining entries point to thin air. They should be removed. When there are more links than entries, or there is an allocated file with neither links nor entries, some disk space may be lost but the situation will not degenerate. BUGS
Since dcheck is inherently two-pass in nature, extraneous diagnostics may be produced if applied to active file systems. Default file sys- tems vary with installation so dcheck should use fstab(5). 3rd Berkeley Distribution DCHECK(8)
