Check if a file exists with wildcard in shell script

bash

if ls /path/to/your/files* 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "files do exist"
else
    echo "files do not exist"
fi

Or better one:

for f in /path/to/your/files*; do
    ## Check if the glob gets expanded to existing files.
    ## If not, f here will be exactly the pattern above
    ## and the exists test will evaluate to false.
    [ -e "$f" ] && echo "files do exist" || echo "files do not exist"
    ## This is all we needed to know, so we can break after the first iteration
    break
done

For example, I want to remove all files with name prefix "aabb" at current foler, then I write script as:

for f in ./aabb*; do
    if [ -e "$f" ];
    then
        rm $f
    fi
done
