Before starting to work on the logic: there are several syntactical errors in your script-attempt you should correct.
Without guarantee for completeness, use "man bash" and "known good" bash scripts (from this site or the net) to find out:
- how is a "if..then..else...fi"-block constructed?
- how is a "case..esac" constructed?
- are spaces in variable assignments allowed? (i.e. is "x=.." and "x = .." the same?)
- are all control structures properly closed ("(" needs a ")", "'" a closing counterpart, etc.)
Post your rewritten script and we will continue.
