check for existance of file case insensitively 1

[philipose]

Hi,
Is there an elegant way to verify if a bunch of files (names case insensitive) exist in a directory ?

ie I can get files named google*.csv (case insensitive, * stands for wild character). ie I can get Google123.csv, GOOGLE.csv, google343.csv, etc

rather than saying
if [-f google*.csv] || [-f Google*.csv] || ...
I was searching for a better way to deal with this situation.

Thanks in advance

something along the lines of

if ls *.csv | egrep -iq ^google
then
  echo file found
fi

Of course, if you actually want to kneo what's been found then

for i in $(ls *.csv | egrep -i ^google)
do
  echo found $i
done

Columb,
This is cool. Thanks a lot. I did not think along the same lines.
