Checking for a control file before processing a data file
Hi All,
I am very new to Shell scripting...
I got a requirement.
I will have few text files(data files) in a particular directory. they will be with .txt extension. With same name, but with a different extension control files also will be there. For example, Sample_20081001.txt is the data file, then Sample_20081001.ctl will be the control file.
Now if the ctl file exists, then only i have to move that particular txt file into another directory. Others i should not move. And the .txt and .ctl files will be multiple. This is my requirement.
Can anybody please give a solution?
Thank you very much.

gen-ctl-io
GEN-CTL-IO(1) libctl GEN-CTL-IO(1)
NAME
gen-ctl-io - generate C interface code for libctl control files
SYNOPSIS
gen-ctl-io [OPTION]... [spec-file]
DESCRIPTION
gen-ctl-io generates C code to import/export the input/output variables used in a libctl control file. gen-ctl-io generates files like
ctl-io.h and ctl-io.c. These files define global variables, data structures, and functions for the input/output variables, classes, and
function interfaces defined in the spec-file argument, automating the interaction between C and Guile.
The arguments such as --code and --header are used to control whether ctl-io.c or ctl-io.h, etcetera, are generated. If no argument is
specified then both of these files are generated by default, for backwards compatibility.
libctl is a free library to aid in interfacing scientific software with the GNU Guile scripting and extension language. Documentation for
it may be found online at the libctl home page: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl
OPTIONS
--code Generate C (or C++) source code to implement the Guile interface functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.c (in C) or ctl-
io.cpp (in C++).
--header
Generate the header file declaring the interface data types and functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.h (in C) or ctl-
io.hpp (in C++).
--swig Generate a SWIG interface definition file declaring automatic conversions for the various libctl data types. The default output
file name is ctl-io.i.
--cxx Generate C++ code instead of C code.
-o file
Use file as the output file name instead of the defaults (above).
