Check that at least one file exists in the directory.
There are some files with suffix dates like abc_20032019.dat abc_17032019.dat
If at least one file exists then perform some operation else exit from execution.

Code:
array=($inputdir/abc*.dat)
If [  [ -f ${array[0]  ] ]
then 
echo " file exits"
else
echo " file does not exists"
fi

error inspected "("

Please let me know how to fix it.

getrusage

GETRUSAGE(3)								 1							      GETRUSAGE(3)

getrusage - Gets the current resource usages

SYNOPSIS

       array getrusage ([int  $who])

DESCRIPTION

	This is an interface to getrusage(2). It gets data returned from the system call.

PARAMETERS

	      o $who
		- If $who is 1, getrusage will be called with RUSAGE_CHILDREN.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an associative array containing the data returned from the system call. All entries are accessible by using their documented field
       names.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      getrusage(3) example

	      <?php
	      $dat = getrusage();
	      echo $dat["ru_nswap"];	     // number of swaps
	      echo $dat["ru_majflt"];	     // number of page faults
	      echo $dat["ru_utime.tv_sec"];  // user time used (seconds)
	      echo $dat["ru_utime.tv_usec"]; // user time used (microseconds)
	      ?>

CHANGELOG

       +--------+---------------------------------------------+
       |Version |					      |
       |	|					      |
       |	|		  Description		      |
       |	|					      |
       +--------+---------------------------------------------+
       | 7.0.0	|					      |
       |	|					      |
       |	|  This function is now supported on Windows. |
       |	|					      |
       +--------+---------------------------------------------+
NOTES

       Note

	       On Windows getrusage(3) will only return the following members:

		     o "ru_stime.tv_sec"

		     o "ru_stime.tv_usec"

		     o "ru_utime.tv_sec"

		     o "ru_utime.tv_usec"

		     o "ru_majflt" (only if $who is RUSAGE_SELF)

		     o "ru_maxrss" (only if $who is RUSAGE_SELF)

	       If getrusage(3) is called with $who set to 1 ( RUSAGE_CHILDREN), then resource usage for threads are collected (meaning that inter-
	      nally the function is called with RUSAGE_THREAD).

       Note

	       on BeOS 2000, only the following members are returned:

		     o "ru_stime.tv_sec"

		     o "ru_stime.tv_usec"

		     o "ru_utime.tv_sec"

		     o "ru_utime.tv_usec"
