Please note that should literally be
if [ ! -e b.txt ];
NOT
if [! -e b.txt];
Try running the latter and you'll get errors.

if [[ ! -e b.txt ]; then ...; fi

Here's what I have but i'm getting some errors
#!/bin/bash
if ! (-e b.txt);
then
mv a.txt b.txt
exit
fi
#The previous commands checks to see if b.txt is NOT already there, if
NOT, it renames a.txt to b.txt
#If the script gets here, b.txt EXISTS..
# does_exist is a recursive

Thanks pk!
That's the same thin Greg told me.
#!/bin/bash
if [! -e b.txt];
then
mv a.txt b.txt
exit
fi
#The previous commands checks to see if b.txt is NOT already there, if
NOT, it renames a.txt to b.txt
#If the script gets here, b.txt EXISTS..
# does_exist is a recursive fu
I actually re-wrote it and got it working.
Thanks for the suggested reading Mart, i'll definitely look those

Thanks for all the help!
