Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Compare file name and take action Post 303035334 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 21st of May 2019 12:16:22 PM

If you want to know if the file named by the contents of the variable named i is a regular file, use:
Code:
  if [[ -f "$i" ]]

If you want to know if the string that is the contents of the variable named i is the string 345.zip, use:
Code:
  if [[ "$i" == "345.zip"]]

If you want to know if the file named by the contents of the variable named i is a regular file named 345.zip use:
Code:
  if [[ -f "$i" ]] && [[ "$i" == "345.zip"]]

Then note that with your loop (if you have three files one of which is named 345.zip that match the filename matching pattern *.*) you'll echo do nothing once and echo do something twice. Is that really what you want to do?
