[Gllug] bash string confusion

[t.clarke]

I am absolutely no expert at writing scripts, but you could try another
clumsier approach and see what happens, along the lines of:

cd IMAGEDIR
ls  'file-containing-the-list'  |   script


where script is an executable script-file something like:

while read FILE;
do
if [ ! -e $FILE.jpg ]
then
echo "$FILE" >> listing-file
fi
done


The above is in Unix 'sh' style  - hope it works the same with bash


Also, I hope tghere are no typos
