Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problems with script to find file names Post 302852167 by RudiC on Tuesday 10th of September 2013 04:50:11 PM

As your fields in test_array.txt are only partial names, you need to allow for that in the find command. And, even if no files are found, find returns an exit code of 0, so your if always succeeds. You need to analyse the results further, e.g. with the wc command. Try:
Code:
while read PART
    do
    CNT=$(find . -name "*$PART*" ... | wc -l )
    if [ $CNT -gt 0 ]; then ....; else; fi
    done < test_array.txt
