Debugging a beginner shell script...
I have been following a tutorial on bash which has proven to be very helpful. However, i am stuck with a command not found issue when asking for a y/n response from the user. Below is the part of code I believe is giving me grief... I have been trying to work through this for 3 hours now.... Please let me know if you see anything here or need a larger sample of code to review.
Thanks very much...

========================================================

Code:
if [ "$interactive" = "1" ]; then
        response=

        echo -n "Enter name of output file [$filename] > "
        read response
        if [ -n "$response" ]; then
             filename=$response
        fi
set -x

        if [ -f $filename ]; then
                echo -n "Output file exists. Overwrite? (y/n) > "
                read response
                if ["$response" != "y"]; then
                echo "Exiting Program"
                exit 1
        fi

fi
fi

set +x

gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response

gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response(3)				      gnutls					  gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response(3)

NAME

       gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gnutls/ocsp.h>

       int gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response(gnutls_ocsp_resp_t resp, gnutls_datum_t * response_type_oid, gnutls_datum_t * response);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_ocsp_resp_t resp
		   should contain a gnutls_ocsp_resp_t structure

       gnutls_datum_t * response_type_oid
		   newly allocated output buffer with response type OID

       gnutls_datum_t * response
		   newly allocated output buffer with DER encoded response

DESCRIPTION

       This function will extract the response type OID in and the response data from an OCSP response.  Normally the
	response_type_oid is always "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.1" which means the
	response should be decoded as a Basic OCSP Response, but technically other response types could be used.

       This  function  is  typically only useful when you want to extract the response type OID of an response for diagnostic purposes.  Otherwise
       gnutls_ocsp_resp_import() will decode the basic OCSP response part and the caller need not worry about that aspect.

RETURNS

       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
