I'm still not quite sure what you are trying to do - perhaps you could define a function to test something is in a given folder like this:

Code:
location=/home/myhome/dir

function stuff_in
{
   for f in "$1"/*
   do
      [ -f "$f" ]
      return
   done
}

if stuff_in "$location/folder1"
then
   echo "$location/folder1 is populated"
fi

if stuff_in "$location/folder2"
then
   echo "$location/folder2 is populated"
fi

if stuff_in "$location/folder3"
then
   echo "$location/folder3 is populated"
fi

Again ignoring files starting with . (like .profile)

wsreg_set_location

wsreg_set_location(3WSREG)			    Product Install Registry Library Functions				wsreg_set_location(3WSREG)

NAME

       wsreg_set_location, wsreg_get_location - set or get the location of a component

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag ...]  file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
       #include <wsreg.h>

       int wsreg_set_location(Wsreg_component *comp, const char *location);

       char *wsreg_get_location(const Wsreg_component *comp);

DESCRIPTION

       The  wsreg_set_location() function sets the location specified by location into the component specified by comp.  Every component must have
       a location before being registered.  If a location has already been set into the specified component, the  resources  associated  with  the
       previously set location are released.

       The  wsreg_get_location() function gets the location string from the component specified by comp.  The resulting string must be released by
       the caller.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_set_location() function returns a non-zero value if the location was set correctly; otherwise 0 is returned.

       The wsreg_get_location() function returns a copy of the location from the specified component.
