line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Hi all,
I am very new to programming and even newer to this forum as well, so I apologize if this should have been in the Newbie category, but...
I am currently trying to figure out Shell Scripting and am running into problems early. Not having taken any kind of programming class, I am not even sure what a good reference guide would be. Any suggestions on a good Shell scripting book, textbook, or tutorial website?

Here is my main question though, I am using TextWrangler to create a shell script loop that I will eventually add a whole bunch of GenericMappingTools commands into in order to make different jpegs as frames for an animation. But I am getting a "line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file" message when I try to run this simple script:


Code:
#!/bin/bash
#testscript

set i=0
while ($i<=5)
set AGE=$i

echo Making basegrid $AGE...
        
@ i++

end

echo Finished


I am sure something very simple (and most likely very obvious) is missing here but I'm pretty stumped and googling the problem is hard because it seems that shell scripting serves an incredible range of purposes.

Thanks very much for the help!

cpanplus::shell::default::plugins::source

CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source(3)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands

SYNOPSIS

	   CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands

DESCRIPTION

       This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
       in it to execute, and then executes them.

       A sample file might look like this:

	   # first, update all the source files
	   x --update_source

	   # find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
	   # test them, and store the error log
	   a ^KANE$'
	   t *
	   p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log

	   # and inform us we're good to go
	   ! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"

       Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
