How to find the count of files in a directory

Hi Gurus

WHat would be the command to check whether there is a file in particular path or not..

for ex: my file name is ExRate_20071501.csv

I can have many files with same pattern but diffrentiated by date..

i have a process where i have to check if files exist in tht folder i have to goahead and do another process..if no file exists then stop the process..

can anyone provide ideas on how to check whether any files exist in that path or not..

thanks
