bash script Q

Fri Apr 5 13:57:00 GMT 2002

I assuming that I am reading all files from /tmp/ directory
for File in /tmp/*
do
 ## Check, if it is a File
 if [ -f $File ] ; then
 ## Yes, it is a file
 ## Get the basename and cut two characters
 TWOBYTES=`basename $File | cut -b1,2`
 if [ "$TWOBYTES" = "%!" ] ; then
 echo "File Name Valid"
 else
 echo "File Name Not Valid"
 fi
 else
 ## This is a directory
 ## I do not know what you want to do here , put your code here.
 fi
done
Hi,
	anyone point me to the best bash script option for checking the
first 2
characters of all the files in a directory?
logic of the script is
for each file in directory
	test if the first 2 chars are "%!"
		print Filename	valid
	if not
		print Filename	not valid
Does magic do something like this ?
