lftp find command and patterns/asterisk

[T***@bertelsmann.de]

Hi,
we want to exit lftp processing, when a file pattern is not matching.
This exits with RC=8, if no hugo.xml file is present:
find hugo.xml || exit 8;

Now for patterns:
glob find *.xml || exit 8;
doesn't work, if no *.xml files are there. It doesn't exit the processing.
Also:
find *.xml || exit 8;
doesn't work, as it seems that lftp find does not accept patterns.

Any hint what must be done to conditionally check if multiple files are present on remote site and exit with a specific RC if they aren't?

Thanks,
Tilo

find command expects a directory to dive into in the command line.
Currently it cannot find a file by name, you can use grep for that.

Hi Alexander,
thank you. Can you please give an example how to couple find and grep in lftp for file patterns?

Thanks and regards,
Tilo
