This is what I'll tell you..

#!/bin/sh

hardcoded_folder="xxx"

#expected args:
# $1: Relative path of file to be checked. (relative to hardcoded path)
# $2: Abs path of "another location"
#
function my_function()
{
    f_2_check=$1
    another_location=$2

    #if -f $hardcoded_folder/$f_2_check then
    #file found, so write to another location
    #copy $hardcoded_folder/$f_2_check another_location/$f_2_check
    #else
    #file not found, so create it
    #touch $hardcoded_folder/$f_2_check
}

my_function file_2_check /another_location
