It would be helpful to post the error messages, maybe embedded in the script's output when run with options -v and/or -x set. For now, I see the following noteworthy:
won't fly. For command substitution use backticks or the $(...) construct instead of double quotes. BTW, there may be better ways than this to eliminate special files.
The
will destroy every file in your directory that does not have the grep pattern in it and reduce those who have to the lines containing the pattern. If filenames contain special chars, e.g. space, the ambiguous redirect error may result (not sure though).
The second error you mention will probably be syntax error: unexpected end of file
and is the result of a missing ; in line 19 just in front of the done

Hello there,
I'm totally new in bash programming and ran into my first problem.
My script should generate 3 textfiles where the content of the first and the third row are the same in each file. Only the second row is different.
This is what I did in a very simplified explanation:

Hi all,
I've been working on a bash script to help with backups that I have to do at work.

yhsm-linux-add-entropy(1) General Commands Manual yhsm-linux-add-entropy(1)NAME
yhsm-linux-add-entropy - Seed the Linux entropy pool with data from YubiHSM TRNG
SYNOPSIS
yhsm-linux-add-entropy [options]
DESCRIPTION
The YubiHSM uses "Avalanche Noise" TRNG together with USB SOF jitter sampling to feed a DRBG_CTR algorithm (NIST publication SP800-90). The
result has been verified as being random data of good quality by at least one third party cryptographer. <http://sartryck.idg.se/Art/
Yubihsm_1_TW072011.html>
Use this program to add random data from the YubiHSM to the entropy pool of your Linux operating system. This is useful whenever lots of
random data is needed, such as when generating chryptographic keys (GPG-keys), on a server terminating SSL sessions etc.
You may run this script from cron, or in a while-loop. Make sure it does not run at the same time as something else accessing the YubiHSM
though, or the two tasks may interrupt each other - probably making both fail.
OPTIONS -D, --device
device file name (default: /dev/ttyACM0).
-v, --verbose
enable verbose operation.
-c, --count
number of iterations to run (default: 100).
-r, --ratio
bits per byte read to use. 8 is probably fine, but as a conservative default 2 is used.
--debug
enable debug printout, including all data sent to/from YubiHSM.
EXIT STATUS
0 Entropy added successfully
1 Failure
