    what's the equivalent of -e in ssh

    i'm using something like this to determine if a file exists in Perl:
    if(-e "myfile")

    how do I do in an .sh file without getting a "No such file or directory" output like I get when I use the "ls" command?

      if [ -e "file.txt" ]; then
      echo "Wow its there";
      fi

          thanks.
          now I'm going to use the "ls" command anyway for something else.
          is there a way to suppress the error message: "No such file or directory"
          if there really is no such file or directory ?
