Additionally, just to highlight :
Code:
COUNTCOMMA=`echo "${LINE}"  | grep -o "," | wc -l)`

Opening parenthesis missing. Also there is no need to put those unless you have used $(...) but in that case you dont need `...`

Code:
if [${COUNTCOMMA}=0]; then

You have not put spaces around the opening and closing square bracket as ygemici suggested. Also, Make sure put spaces around = or == whatever you use.
