Hi all,

I have a similar problem.
My script is like:

#!/bin/sh
FILENAME=$1
while read line do
if [[$line = *sometext*]] then echo $line fi
done < $FILENAME

And I get the error:

line 5: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
line 5: `done < $FILENAME


Would you please share any ideas about how to solve the problem?
