I've decided to stick with my own code cos it needs to have loops and functions and the oneliner code (as good as it is) doesnt

I'm not familiar with use of method functions so I wrote this but it won't work, it gives me an error saying
Code:
printDir: command not found

Here's my code
Code:
if [ "$2" != "" -o "$1" == "--help" ]; then
    echo "Usage: ./viztree.sh [directory]"
else
    dir=$1
    printDir $dir
fi

printDir () {
    dir=$1
    for FILE in $dir/*
    do
        if [ -d "$FILE" ]; then
            echo "|-- `echo $FILE | cut -f2 -d/`"
            echo '$dir' = $dir/$FILE
            printDir $dir
        else
            echo "|-- `echo $FILE | cut -f2 -d/`"
        fi
    done
}

I was thinking that to call methods you pass an argument say methodName arg1 or something? am i wrong?
