I'm using both linux(RH) and HP-UX system for implementing this code and using ksh in both cases
And, when i'm using the above mentioned code, the o/p for a null entry (filename) is displaying all the files [ls -lrt / ll $USERINPUT] present in that directory.
Ofcourse the code is effectively validating invalid filenames. But the problem is with null input.
