I created a sample .sh file with script like this:
if [ -f "/Spool/Cognos/Cognos.xlsx" ]
then
echo "File exists"
else
echo "File not exists"
fi
However, I would like to change so that it could read file with dynamic names, the files that will be uploaded in the folder /Spool/Cognos will be something like this: Cognos Aug24.xlsx, Cognos Sep24.xlsx, Cognos July24.xlsx, etc.
How can I change the if part of the script above? I tried
if [ -f "/Spool/Cognos/Cognos*.xlsx" ]
with * as wildcard but it seems like it does not work.
You can do it like this:
for f in /Spool/Cognos/Cognos*.xlsx; do
if [ -f "$f" ]; then
echo File exists
else
echo File not exists
fi
break
done
If you don't mind overwriting the positional parameters, this will also work:
set -- /Spool/Cognos/Cognos*.xlsx
if [ -f "$1" ]; then
echo File exists
else
echo File not exists
fi
