hello Im trying to run a script but it doesn't work.
this is the exercise:
Create an executable script file called �newname� that will perform the followings:
1. Rename a file upon the user's request. If the file exists, prompt the user for confirmation before renaming the file. The screen should prompt the user for
a. �Name of file you want to rename.� Use the �\c� escape character.
b. �New name of file� Use the �\c� escape character.
c. �File Exist� to avoid overriding a file.
d. �File $oldname changed to $newname�
e. �Do you want to rename another file?� If the user selects �yes� the system should refresh the screen and if the user selects �no� the system should exit to the prompt sign.
f. Refresh the screen to go back to the menu until the user selects the exit option

this is what I did! but I have some message error at the line 22 and 23! can someone helps me?

#!/bin/sh

while [ 1==1 ]
do
echo " 1. Select R or r to rename your file"
echo " 2. select E or e to exit the screen"
echo "enter your choice: \c"
read option
case $option in
R|r)echo "name of the file you want to rename: \c"
read filename
echo "enter the new name: \c"
read newname
if [ -f "$newname" ]
then
echo "file already exits"
echo "are you sure you want to move this file to $newname?"
echo "input Y for yes and N for no: Control+C to cancel"
read answer
if [ $answer == [yY] ]
then
mv $file $filename
if [ $? ]
then
echo "Job failed"
else
echo "Job Done"
fi

else
echo "Moving $filename $newname"

sleep 2
if [ $? ]
then
echo "Job failed"
else
echo "Job Done"

#sh rename

SIEVESHELL(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     SIEVESHELL(1)

NAME

       sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--password=password] [--exec=script] [--execfile=file] server[:port]

       sieveshell --help

DESCRIPTION

       sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server.	It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -p password, --password=password
	   The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution!

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.

       -f file, --execfile=file
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
