Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Check that at least one file exists in the directory. Post 303039559 by Peasant on Wednesday 9th of October 2019 10:29:11 AM

You never used code i posted, and you have expanded your code with pipes and line counts.

If [[ 'ls $INPUTDIR/abc*.dat | wc -l > 0' ]] -> will always evaluate to true
Without test it will default on -n, at least on bash here debian linux.

The command inside single quotes is never executed, just checked if the length of string passed 'ls $INPUTDIR/abc*.dat | wc -l > 0' is greater then zero.
This will always be true, and your code will never hit else condition.

if should be lower case.
Ending the if clause is done with fi, not another if as you wrote.
The fiile1 is a hard-coded file name and will be removed when you execute the script from current running directory, deleting the file if it exists.

I'm not sure what are you are trying to write here, hopefully i cleared some or all misunderstanding.
Also MiG suggested an alternative with custom function found in thread linked.

Can you be more precise about your exact requirement, with input and output expected or desired effect of your code ?
Please specify your operating system and shell details as well.

Hope that helps.
Regards
Peasant.
