Hi All,

I am having a challange to pass the asterisk in the variable. Basically, I am writing a shell script to check if a marker file exists but when I am assigning the varialbe it cannot use the wildcard asterisk as expected, therefore, my program is always outputs "Marker file is not arrived". Can someone pease help me how do I get it correct.

Marker file will arrive as Marker_YYYYMMDD.tmp but I would like to define it as below ...

Code:

 
FLAG=/test/Marker_*.tmp
        if [ -f "$FLAG" ]
        then
           echo "Marker file exists"
        else
           echo "Marker file is not arrived,"
        fi
