Hello , ran into a problem

"I am using Vi," and
Im mid way down in a BASH
and Im trying to simply

make a statement along the lines of simply
Would you like to check the system ,
Y or N

And run these functions
when the Y or yes is given

cat /etc/passwd | wc -l
who | wc -l
ps -e | wc -l

Sorry for my Newness; brand new to this stuff

smell like homework..
I will give you an idea either use switch case or if else for that....
to take i/p from user use read command..
give it a try..

Say again . its not home work ...
I am trying to do this to show someone something ,

I have this Online thing from Mike Virtue teaching Noobies how to use Unix ,

and I am doing pretty well and I wanted to Surprise my father with this thing I am working on ,

Ill type what I have how about that ...

echo "I will now continue to Help"
echo "Would you like to know some helpful information on about your system"
echo -n " Yes or No: "
read answer
if [ $answer = "y" ] ;
then
 cat/etc/passwd
 who | who -l
 ps -e | wc -l

you may want to take care of capital "Y" also
so type
if [ $answer = "y" -o $answer = "Y" ] then
or use switch case as
case $answer in
"Y"||"y")commands here;;
*);;
esac

It will then work ?? one sec ill try it

It says Syntax Error: unexpected end of file I don't even have a line 40 ?

can you post the exact code what you tried just now??

you are most probably missing a quote (") somewhere
