Parsing values
can anybody tell me why this code does not work?

Code:
 
cat x1.ksh
 
#!/bin/ksh
set -x
echo "|$#|"
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
     case $1 in
      --+([kK])
          shift
          K=$1
          ;;
       *)
         echo "Here I am"
         shift
         ;;
   esac
done

./x1.ksh -k 5+ echo '|2|'
|2|
./x1.ksh: line 5: syntax error at line 10: `newline' unexpected

Thanks to all who answer
