Something like:-
Code:
if [ -f *.LOG ]
then
   for i in *.LOG
   do
      load
      move
   done
fi

.... might do it, however it's not really necessary. You have a loop based on the file name too. If there are no files, then the loop will not execute.

LOG(1)							     cao-vlsi reference manual							    LOG(1)

NAME

       log - logical representations for boolean functions and utilities.

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

DESCRIPTION

       log is a set of structures and functions that permits to manipulate several representations of  boolean	functions.  Several  programs  and
       libraries of the cao-vlsi cad tools rest on the log package. Three different kind of functions are available for:

       Hash table management

       Prefixed representation for boolean functions

       Ordered binary decision diagrams representation

EXAMPLE

       Let's suppose that actual mbk version is 'nnn'.	In order to use log, libMutnnn.a library must be called.
       makefile:
       HEADER = -I/labo/include
       LIB = -L/labo/lib -lMut -ltsh -labl -lbdd
       Each  library  can  be  called  separatly.  The	"log.h" header file must be inserted in the files that use the functions or the structures
       defined in a library.
