Help with IF

[RJSHA1]

Hi guys,
Can I do some thing like this. I want to do an IF where I check if a a variable OPTION = JHA2 and if a file exist and has a size greater than zero

if [ $OPTION = JHA2 -a -s sbs3000$OPTION.dis ];


Would this work or have I missed something

Have you tried it? It would *almost* work.

if [ $OPTION = "JHA2" -a -s sbs3000$OPTION.dis ]
then
   ...
   ...
fi

?

if $OPTION has to equal a specific value then
why not just use that specific value.

if [ -s svs3000JHA2.dis ]

or if you are testing the value of a variable then you
should protect against a null value

if [ x$OPTION = "xJHA2" -a -s svs3000$OPTION.dis ]
