Loop SCript

Hi,

I am newer to UNIX scripting. Here is what I am trying to accomplish:

I want to log a timestamp and a row count for a spcific file, out to another file.

Below is my script. WhenI run it, it says that line 6 is missing a ']' which I don't see how, and then echos File Does Not Exist (which the file does exist and is at 777).

Any help on this would be grealy appreciated - I don't have the best tools to troubleshoot and debug so also if there is a easy to use tool that you could suggest please do so, I don't like asking others to debug my code.

Script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
a=0 
while [ $a -lt 10 ]
do
if [ -f /pr/datastage/AUST/output/LargeFileForTesting_AUST.txt_Processing]
then
   echo "File exists"
wc -k /pr/datastage/AUST/output/LargeFileForTesting_AUST.txt_Processing |sed -e "s/^/$(date)/">>/pr/datastage/AUST/workarea/LargeFileForTesting_AUST.txt_Processing_Row_Count
else
   echo "File does not exists"
   break
   a=1
fi
done
