Thanks for your response and since I am new this I may missed out the rules and i will do it from now on

And my query is I am passing file names as command line arguments and my condition should alert the user if he fails to pass the parameter

am saving those parameters in a variable called file1, file2 and file3

i believe [ -z file ] will check whether file is a zero size file or not , correct me if iam wrong
