   My bash script

   Hello All,   
      
   I am using this in a bash script to toss incoming files here and am having a   
   problem with it that I hope someone can shed some light on for me.   
      
   ---- begin import mailin.sh ---   
      
   # process tics   
   if [ -f fido/inbound/*.tic ]; then   
   ./bbbs btick > /dev/null 2>&1   
   ./bbbs bfilsort > /dev/null 2>&1   
   ./bbbs bfileidx > /dev/null 2>&1   
   fi   
      
   That is a snippit from my script that tosses inbound files. It works fine if   
   there in just one inbound *.tic but if there are more than one tic to be   
   processed it fails and I see this..   
      
   scripts/mailin.sh: 14: [: fido/inbound/12345678.tic: unexpected operator   
      
   I'm not sure what that means or how to overcome it. Any suggestions?   
      
   One last question.. I have a second section like the aboveeeee that looks for   
   *.TIC instead of *.tic. Is there a way to edit the above line to look for both   
   *.tic and *.TIC?   
      
   Thanks for any pointers.. :)
