Code:
This line is correct syntax to start a function:
usage() {

This line (and many more like it) is not correct syntax to start a function.
function searchFile() {


This "if" test is misplaced, syntactically incorrect and upsetting the whole structure of the script.
Quote:
if [ $# != 2 ] then
usage() {
You probably meant to declare the function "usage" first, then later in the script ....
Code:
if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
        usage
fi

There are more typos in the script, some of which matter (like "Case" instead of "case") and some less important like the spelling of "successful"!

As others suggest, work you way through the script correcting each error. As this strikes me as an edit to a complex script perhaps introduce the changes bit-by-bit and test at every stage.


Quote:
LOG_NAME_DATE=`date +%y%m%d% -%H%M%S`
This does not produce what you think. Even after removing the space character there is an extra % character. Try it?

This might be better:
Code:
LOG_NAME_DATE=`date +'%y%m%d-%H%M%S'`

Or even:
Code:
LOG_NAME_DATE=`date +'%Y%m%d-%H%M%S'`
