Thanks Dr. House - that works like a charm!

I am using the following code:
if [ $FILE = IMG* ]; then

I am getting an error saying line 12: [: too many arguments


The code is supposed to examine whether the filename read into $FILE...

Sorry I take that back - your solution is perfect!! I was going between versions and missed a couple of changes. I made them and it works!! Thank you so much!

It sort of ran - I got the following error message:

./test.sh: line 12: [: -gt: unary operator expected
du: fts_open: No such file or directory

Hi I'm writing a shell that goes through a bunch of files and does a simple test on each. Each file has a numeric name (ex. 100.jpg). My problem is that the shell is going through the files in...
