searching files and display if present
Write a unix program to which files names will be passed as single
parameter (i.e all the file names will be concatenated
by using a specific symbol) and it will search in the respective
directories if the file exists there or not. For example
suppose the following parameter is passed "file1.txt:file2.txt:file3.zip"
to the program then it will search the files
file1.txt and file2.txt in the txt folder and file3.zip in the zip folder
and display that if they are present there or not.
