Hello all,
I am new to unix and i am having probelms. If anyone could help. I am trying to input numbers from a file called data.file The problem i am having is I can input the file but when I hit enter to get the answer onto my output file i get a error message (standard_in) 1: parse error. My script looks like so. It in for converting Centigrade temperature into Fahrenheit or vise versa.
I can just enter on number like 32 and then go to ans.file and it shows the answer of this. Which is how it is supposed to look but i cannot enter more than one number or a file.
Thanks You all for any help you can give me.

anytopnm
anytopnm(1) General Commands Manual anytopnm(1)NAME
anytopnm - attempt to convert an unknown type of image file to a portable anymap
SYNOPSIS
anytopnm [file]
DESCRIPTION
anytopnm converts the input image, which may be in any of dozens of graphics formats, to PBM, PGM, or PPM format, depending on that nature
of the input image, and outputs it to Standard Output.
To determine the format of the input, anytopnm uses the file program (possibly assisted by the magic numbers file fragment included with
Netpbm). If that fails (very few image formats have magic numbers), anytopnm looks at the filename extension. If that fails, anytopnm
punts.
The type of the output file depends on the input image.
If file indicates that the input file is compressed (either via Unix compress, gzip, or bzip compression), anytopnm uncompresses it and
proceeds as above with the uncompressed result.
If file indicates that the input file is encoded by uuencode or btoa, anytopnm decodes it and proceeds as above with the decoded result.
If file is - or not given, anytopnm takes its input from Standard Input.
