Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I have the following code:

Code:

if [ -d /home/batch/testing ]; then echo 'folder not exist'; else echo 'folder exist'; fi

The "testing" folder is not exist in /home/batch , but thhe result is 'folder exist'. It seems that the code cannot detect that the folder "testing" not exist.

ANybody know the solution?

thanks..

Hi,

There something wrong with my "If-Else" statement... I should put echo 'folder exist' first, not in the else part.

Issue Solved..

You had it backwards.
