[ test operator for multiple filenames

[gfunk123]

i need to be able to write a ksh script like this

if fileX and fileY and fileZ exist then blah blah blah. Ive tried

if [ -f fileX -a -f fileY -a -f fileZ ]
then


.....but this does not seem to work

does anybody know the syntax for this

cheers

I belive you want to use && for AND or || for OR.

I think this may work, but you'll need to test it.

if [ -f fileX ] && [ -a -f fileY ] && [ -a -f fileZ ]
then
