Error in for loop?

hugow · #1 (**permalink**) 06-27-2005

Hi,

Working on AIX using the following for loop.

for a in `find /edi/iTracTEST/sessions -name nohup.out -print`
do
echo $a
done

On the command line it works fine, but insert the code in a file and then running it, it does not want to work. I get the following back.

' is not expected.s2.sh: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 3 : `do

Please advice

There is no problem i have seen in this script.
Working for me on AIX 4.3

Do you have any other lines in the script ? or just these lines ?

No this is all there is at the moment. Have reduced the script to 4 lines due to this problem so that I can isolate it.
Is the syntax correct for using in a script?

This is a Korn Shell script. Any ideas to what is causing the error.
