sh syntax error unexpected token done

I'm getting the following error:

Code:
line 21: syntax error near unexpected token `done`
line 21: `done`

and I haven't been able to figure out why.

Here is my code

Code:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
	echo 'Usage: rename getexp/replStr[list-of-files]'
	exit 0
fi
arg = $1
shift
while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do
	if [ -w $1 ]; then
		newFile=$1 | sed "s/$arg/"
		mv $1 $newFile
	else
		echo "$1 does not exist as a writable file"
		exit 0
	fi
	shift
done

Sorry if there is some obvious mistake in my code, this is more or less my first shell script.

Test::Inline::Content::Legacy(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Test::Inline::Content::Legacy(3pm)

NAME
Test::Inline::Content::Legacy - Test::Inline 2 Content Handler for legacy functions SYNOPSIS
Custom script content generation using Test::Inline 2.000+ with a custom generator functions my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... file_content => $function, ); Migrating this same code to Test::Inline 2.100+ ContentHandler objects my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $ContentHandler = Test::Inline::Content::Legacy->new( $function ); my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... ContentHandler => $ContentHandler, ); DESCRIPTION
This class exists to provide a migration path for anyone using the custom script generators in Test::Inline via the "file_content" param. The synopsis above pretty much says all you need to know. METHODS
new $CODE_ref The "new" constructor for "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" takes a single parameter of a "CODE" reference, as you would have previously provided directly to "file_content". Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" object, or "undef" if not passed a "CODE" reference. coderef The "coderef" accessor returns the "CODE" reference for the object process $Inline $Script The "process" method works with the legacy function by passing the Test::Inline and Test::Inline::Script arguments straight through to the legacy function, and returning it's result as the return value.
