1) if unmatched - i am assuming that you have missed it while pasting the script.

2) problem with conditional statement logic.

if $check is not equal to zero then the file exists else does not exist.
You have put it otherway round so even if the file exist you will get the message file does not exist.

make it

Code:

if [[ $check -eq 0 ]]

or reverse the statements if the condition is true.

3) you would have been able to check the error yourself with the value of $check because you always had the debugging on in the script.

Hi kamitsin,

I have made the change now and it is working. Thanks for your help . i would like to know how i can find the .cc3 files by making a change in this command in the script:

`ls|grep cc3|wc -l`

i tried changing it to `ls|grep *.cc3|wc -l`

but it did not work

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Code:

ls -al *.cc3|wc -l

You can use following one liner command to find the file of given name/ext.

find Directory -type f -name "*.CC3" -print

Directory could be fixed or given by the user.

Hope it would help !!

as an alternative to get rid of size,date,owner data...

Code:

ls -al *.CC3|awk '{print $9}'

can you try this one,

check=`find . -type f -name "*.cc3" -print | wc -l`


NOTE: "." is the current dir , instead you can use your own search dir .
