Sorry for the confusion. Actually our file name will have datetime for e.g Trigger_09122014103030.done.
I am creating script which will wait until this file appears. Since this file is datetime appended, I can not give exact file in while loop(while running daily), that's reason the I am trying to check if the file name with Trigger*.done exists.
Command :-
When I add the 'Trigger_09122014103030.done' in the mentioned source location (when script is in while loop) it does not come out of the while loop
But when I add 'Trigger*.done' it comes out of the while loop. I think 'while' command searches for the exact file name

I'm sure this is by design, but using something like
for f in dir/*
do echo $f
done
produces unexpected (to me) results if run against an empty directory. I'd have expected it to not execute the loop, but it actually calls it with f set to 'dir/*'.
Now I know that I'm trying to protect... (2 Replies)
