You need an extra ; because find needs one, and the case needs two. Code:
blah) find ..... {} \; ;;I prefer to put the ;; on a new-line: Code:
case "$inputs" in
sapte) find /pools/home_unix/sapte/work/models/model -name "*.xml" exec rm -i {} \;
;;
ckm1) find /pools/home_unix/ckm1/work/models/model -name "*.xml" exec rm -i {} \;
;;
