Stuck trying to search if a file exists in a directory that's name has been imported from another txt file and if it exists to create a new one.
file="/home/user/data.txt"
while IFS= read line
do
# display $line or do something with $line
echo "$line"
sudo mkdir -p /home/"$line"
if [ -e "$line".txt]
then
echo "ok backup file exists"
else
echo "no backup file - one created"
touch ../home/"$line"/"$line".txt
fi
errors are that the touch is not creating new file. Have created the input $line folders
