Full Discussion: Too many arguments error
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Too many arguments error Post 302990007 by stomp on Friday 20th of January 2017 01:43:15 PM

Maybe like this:

Code:
set addr*.tmp
if [ -f "$1" ]; then 
   echo "got at least one addr*.tmp file"
fi

Or better...

Code:
for tmpfile addr*.tmp ; do
   if [ -f "$tmpfile" ]; then 
   echo "got at least one addr*.tmp file"
   fi
   break
done

if there is no file matching the pattern, the pattern stays as written and when tested, no file exists with that pattern.

fetch

FETCH(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						  FETCH(9)

NAME

     fetch, fubyte, fuibyte, fuiword, fulong, fuulong, fuword -- fetch data from user-space

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/time.h>
     #include <sys/systm.h>
     #include <sys/resourcevar.h>

     int
     fubyte(const user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuibyte(const user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuiword(user_addr_t addr);

     int64_t
     fulong(user_addr_t addr);

     uint64_t
     fuulong(user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuword(user_addr_t addr);

DESCRIPTION

     The fetch functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space.

     The fetch routines provide the following functionality:

     fubyte()	Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuibyte()	Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address addr.  This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.

     fuiword()	Fetches a word of data from the user-space address addr.  This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.

     fulong()	Fetches a long word of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuulong()	Fetches a unsigned long word of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuword()	Fetches a word of data from the user-space address addr.

RETURN VALUES

     The fetch functions return the data fetched or -1 on failure.
