Check whether a certain file type/extension exists in directory

Question

How would you go about telling whether files of a specific extension are present in a directory, with bash?

Something like

if [ -e *.flac ]; then 
echo t         


        

Answer 1

The top solution (if [ -e *.flac ];) did not work for me, giving: [: too many arguments

if ls *.flac >/dev/null 2>&1; then it will work.
