How to check whether directory has files in it or not in shell script?
hi,
I am having script in which i want to check if directory has any file in it or not. If directory contains a single or more files then and only then it should proceed to further operations...
P.S.: Directory might have thousand number of files. so there might be chance of getting error message of argument list too long...
if anyone can help me with this? Code snippet is as follows -
Code:
files=directory1/*
if [ ${#files[@]} -gt 0 ]
then
tar -czvf $file1.tar.gz directory1/
mv $file1.tar.gz directory2
Issue is that though directory1 is empty it is going inside if and creating tar file of the empty directory structure. If there are no files under directory1 then i just want to avoid tarring of the same.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
dh_installdeb
DH_INSTALLDEB(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLDEB(1)NAME
dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
the correct permissions.
FILES
package.postinst
package.preinst
package.postrm
package.prerm
These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
package.triggers
package.shlibs
These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
package.conffiles
This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
program, so there is no need to list them manually here.
package.maintscript
Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here. For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
