Question

I’m writing a shell script and trying to check whether two files exists.
Here is the script example:

#!/bin/bash

if [[ [ -e File1Name ] -a [ -e File2Name ] ]]
then
  echo Yes
el
  echo No
fi

and get

script: line 5: conditional binary operator expected
script: line 5: syntax error near `-e'
script: line 5: `if [[ [ -e CA ] -a [ -e CA-draw ] ]]'

What is wrong with my script and hot to fix it?

Answer 1

if [ -e File1Name -a -e File2Name ]
then
    echo Yes
else
    echo No
fi
