check file exist bash script

we can use [ -f  file.name ]  ,this shell to check whether exists or not.  however  we should take a close look at the writting format. there should be must a space between bracket [ ]， if there is a space ，there will be a error。so be careful with these common usage。

you also can use as follows for a shell prompt ：[ -f /tmp/foo.txt ] && echo "File Exists" || echo "File not found"

#!/bin/bash
file=$1
 
[ $# -eq 0 ] && { echo "Usage: $0 filename"; exit 999; }
 
if [ -f $file ];
then
	echo "File $file exists."
else
		echo "File $file does NOT exists."
fi

Run it as follows:
$ ./script.sh /etc/resolv.conf
