Couple of folks have given you some clues. Here´s why the test line
fails:
for no files, you have no problem. For one file, you have the
equivalent of:
if [ -f myfile001 ]; then
for more than one file, you have this problem:
if [ -f myfile001 myfile002 ... ]; then
the syntax with multiple files is wrong. -f can take only one filename.
So another operator would be needed -- or at least another way to do
this. See other replies.
