Error message 'binary operator expected' when executing shell script

Asked by keserm in Bourne-Again Shell (bash), Linux Programming, Shell Scripting

Tags: Linux, Li, shell script, binary operator expected, Shell script error message 'binary operator expected'

I have this script that will search through one level folders and if there are files found than gzip, delete fles and than move gzip to archive folder. The problem I have is when it finds more than one file in the same folder I get error message:
line 6: [: /directory/path/folder/filename.txt: binary operator expected

Thank you.Start Free Trial

         
           
           
             #!/bin/sh
find . -name "*[0-9]" | while read name
do
        arch=`echo $name | sed "s:.*/::"`
        cd $arch
        if [ -f /directory/path/$arch/* ] ; then
                tar -czf $arch.tar.gz *
