How to check for multiple files?

To check for multiple files, you can use a loop or a conditional statement. Here’s an example using a loop in a bash script:

files=("file1.txt" "file2.txt" "file3.txt")

for file in "${files[@]}"; do
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then
        echo "$file exists."
    else
        echo "$file does not exist."
    fi
done

Alternatively, you can use a single conditional statement with the && operator:

if [ -f file1.txt ] && [ -f file2.txt ] && [ -f file3.txt ]; then
    echo "All files exist."
else
    echo "One or more files do not exist."
fi

Choose the method that best fits your needs!
