This works fine..

That will not work fine unless there is exactly one file that matches the pattern.

are these shell dependent?i am using bash shell..

That is wrong in any and all shells.

Have you tried it on an empty directory?

Have you tried it on a directory containing more than one file?

If will also not be fine if $DIRECTORY contains whitespace.

See the is_file function I posted earlier.
