Hi All,

Here is a small piece of code. I wish to process the first file in a directory.

TOPROCESS=`ls -1 sops* | sort | head -n 1`

Now the problem is that if the is no sops* file in the directory the shell script exits with the error.

How to handle this so that, TOPROCESS variable just remains empty if sops* does not exist. I want to let the script exit gracefully by checking the contents of TOPROCESS after the above is handled.

Regards

Kapil
