Help needed with shell script

Hi,
I have trouble building the logic for the following, could anyone please help me out with this:

Im working on a wrapper script to check for input files (in a specific directory) and pass
the input files along with the options as parameters to the main script.The options vary depending
on the input file.
If the input file is input.txt, the option is -i
If the input file is multi.csv, the option is -m
If the input file is comp.csv, the option is -c
If the input file is data.txt, the option is -d
If the input file is value.tsv, the option is -v

NOTE:
a) The input files can be of any format like .txt, .csv, .tsv (but the filenames are standard as mentioned above)
b) There can be any number of files in a directory. The script has to check the number of files,
type of files available and based on the type of input files it has to determine the option.

Ex: <main-script> -i input.txt -m multi.csv -c comp.csv -d data.txt -v value.tsv

Please let me know if you need any more information!!!

Thank You all!!!

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
