Tcsh to sh

Dear all,
I have piece of command from tcsh, which I would like to be in my .bashrc file.
However, I am comletely blank about the tcsh commandline.
Code:
if (-e ~/forum/dir/code.sh) then
source ~/forum/dir/code.sh
endif

Any piece of suggestions how to convert it to sh way?

Thank you
emily

If I get its meaning:

Code:
[ -e ~/forum/dir/code.sh ] && . ~/forum/dir/code.sh

Hello,
Thanks for reply.
A naive question what does '-e' implies?
I assumed it implies if that file ~/forum/dir/code.sh exist than source it. Am I right?

thanks again
emily

That is what it means in SH, yes. In CSH it must mean something similar from the context they're using it -- if the file exists, source it...

Right, -e means the beast exists!
There is also -f: exists as a file (not a directory).
