Check if any file exist in a folder when traversing through it
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I have this script:
local_dir="/some/dir1/"
cd $local_dir
for i in *.*
do
# do something ........
# [...........]
rm $i
done
It throws an error when the folder is empty.
*: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '*': No such file or directory
How can I fix that?

If you want to use your original code, then you just need to check if file exists, using an if condition, i.e.:
local_dir="/some/dir1/"
cd $local_dir
for i in *.*
do
if [[ -f "$i" ]]
then
# do something ........
# [...........]
rm $i
fi
done

A simple -f doesn't need doubled , and don't forget that you'll miss files that don't have a . in them.

Just "if [ -f $i ]" will do, and * should get all files, not just files with a . In the name.
