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.

extract_font_range(3alleg4) Allegro manual extract_font_range(3alleg4)
NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
