Help with Loop

zajtat · #1 (**permalink**) 07-10-2009

Hi,

I'm a new user of UNIX and have a problem with the for loop.
I tried to write this for the sake of an exersice:
!#/bin/ksh
for in in 1 2 3 4 5
do
echo "Welcome $i"
done
However, the computer says:
'/test.txt: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'/test.txt: line 3: `do

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
