Compare this: function is_file() { return test -f $1; } function is_dir() { return test -d $1; } function file_exists() { return test -e $1; } mkdir child touch child/a child/b child/c echo current directory: $(pwd) for f in $(ls child); do is_file $f && echo is_file $f is_dir $f && echo is_dir $f file_exists $f && echo file_exists $f is_file child/$f && echo is_file child/$f is_dir child/$f && echo is_dir child/$f file_exists child/$f && echo file_exists child/$f done -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
