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 ?
