If you really, really, really want to protect against oddball filenames and you really, really, really want to avoid as much process creation as possible (perhaps there are many directories and files to go through) the following would be a good approach:
filecheck.sh:
Note that the above checks strictly for a file ending in .vmx. A directory or a pipe or some other type of directory entry ending in .vmx will not be considered a match.
Also, filecheck.sh needs to be in your $PATH or a pathname with a "/" must be used to invoke it.
