Binary operator expected
Within my script, there is this following if, then statement. It basically looks for files in a directory that match a certain naming convention (bingofile*.DAT) and are non empty files and moves these files to a diff. directory. The script works okay if there is only one file matching the search criteria, but if there are multiple files, I get the following error:
./testscript2.sh: line 10: [: myfilelocationpath/temp/bingofile208847857.DAT: binary operator expected
my script:
if [ -s /myfilelocationpath/temp/bingofile* ] # is bingofile*.DAT > 0
then
mv /myfilelocationpath/temp/bingofile* /anewdirectory/temp
fi
P.S: I have already tried mmv instead of mv with no luck.

NAME
fntsample - PDF and PostScript font samples generator
SYNOPSIS
fntsample [ OPTIONS ] -f FONT-FILE -o OUTPUT-FILE
fntsample -h
DESCRIPTION
fntsample program can be used to generate font samples that show Unicode coverage of the font and are similar in appearance to Unicode
charts. Samples can be saved into PDF (default) or PostScript file.
OPTIONS
fntsample supports the following options.
--font-file, -f FONT-FILE
Make samples of FONT-FILE.
--font-index, -n IDX
Font index for FONT-FILE specified using --font-file option. Useful for files that contain multiple fonts, like TrueType Collec-
tions (.ttc). By default font with index 0 is used.
--output-file, -o OUTPUT-FILE
Write output to OUTPUT-FILE.
--other-font-file, -d OTHER-FONT
Compare FONT-FILE with OTHER-FONT. Glyphs added to FONT-FILE will be highlighted.
--other-index, -m IDX
Font index for OTHER-FONT specified using --other-font-file option.
--postscript-output, -s
Use PostScript format for output instead of PDF.
--svg, -g
Use SVG format for output. The generated document contains one page. Use range selection options to specify which.
--print-outline, -l
Print document outlines data to standard output. This data can be used to add outlines (aka bookmarks) to resulting PDF file with
pdfoutline program.
--include-range, -i RANGE
Show characters in RANGE.
--exclude-range, -x RANGE
Do not show characters in RANGE.
--style, -t "STYLE: VAL"
Set STYLE to value VAL. Run fntsample with option --help to see list of styles and default values.
--help, -h
Display help text and exit.
Parameter RANGE for -i and -x can be given as one integer or a pair of integers delimited by minus sign (-). Integers can be specified in
decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
EXAMPLES
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and write them to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PDF samples for font.ttf, compare it with oldfont.ttf and highlight new glyphs. Write output to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -d oldfont.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PostScript samples for font.ttf and write output to file samples.ps. Show only glyphs for characters with codes less or equal to
U+04FF but exclude U+0370-U+03FF:
fntsample -f font.ttf -s -o samples.ps -i -0x04FF -x 0x0370-0x03FF
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and save output to file samples.pdf adding outlines to it:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o temp.pdf -l > outlines.txt
pdfoutline temp.pdf outlines.txt samples.pdf
