Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Another script question. Post 440 by Astudent on Monday 4th of December 2000 01:46:34 PM

Actually this isn't really working:

I used:
Code:
if [ ! -e "$1" ]
then
    echo "Database file \"$1\" does not exist!"
    exit 1
elif [ ! -e "$1" ]
then
    echo "Database file \"$1\" does not exist!"
    exit 1
fi

Even if the file in my dir has is a .txt it prompt for a txt extension.
Code:
if [ ! -e "$1" ]
then
    echo "Database file \"$1\" does not exist!"
    exit 1
elif [ ! -e "$1" ]
then
    echo "Database file \"$1\" does not exist!"
    exit 1
fi
