I need to write a shell script that tests for the existence of a file
and then performs a function if the file is there.
I have spent hours in the man pages and online and have found that I
cannot read english because even when I follow the examples I cannot
make the script work...
here is the script I'm using:
if (filetest -e "/Path to/A file") then
rm "/Path to/A file"
fi
the reason i have the quotes is because the file name has many spaces
in the path.
the error I get is either filetest: command not found
or if: Expression syntax
the first I get if I use sh the second with csh or tcsh
if have tried if [filetest -e "path to/a file" =1] then and I've just
had if [filetest -e "path to/a file"] then
when using tcsh or csh and I still get expression syntax... Ok so is it
a joke, or did every one leave out something that they assumed any
idiot (except me) knew already?
?????
what am I doing wrong here?
