Script to check the files existence inside a directory.

Hello Folks,

On Below Script, I want to apply condition.
Condition that it check the directory for files if not found keep checking.
Once directory have files and founded do the calculation and finish the code.

Script to check the files existence inside a directory, If not then keep checking in loop unless it found and apply the rest of the logic and exit.

How can i achieve that?

Kindly guide.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date +"%d-%m-%Y-%H:%M"`
FLAG=FIRST
stream=IUCS
path="/bigpfstest/DPI_INVESTIG/IUCS"
for  files in `printf "%s\n" $path/* | tail -5`
        do
	TTHEX=`awk -F ',' 'END{print $4}' $files`
        TIMESTAMP=$( date +'%H:%M:%S' -r $files)
        TRANS_TIME=$(date -d @$(expr `printf "%d" 0x$TTHEX` / 1000) | awk '{print $4}')
        TIME_LAG=$(date +%H:%M:%S -ud @$((`expr $(date -u -d "$TIMESTAMP" +"%s") - $(date -u -d "$TRANS_TIME" +"%s")`)))
        echo "${DATE} ${stream} ${FLAG} $(ls -l $files | awk '{print $9}'| cut -d '/' -f5) ${TIMESTAMP} ${TRANS_TIME} ${TIME_LAG}"  >>IUCS_TEST.csv
