What i don't understand: if the filename has to contain "admin" and everything else is wrong, why don't you simply add this obligatory string to the parameter passed instead of checking if it is there?

like this:

Code:
filename="admin.${1}"

So if you call the script with

Code:
yourscript.sh foo

The filename would be "admin.foo", etc.

I hope this helps.
