Bash to select text and apply it to a selected file in bash

In the bash below I am asking the user for a panel and reading that into bed. Then asking the user for a file and reading that into file1.Is the grep in bold the correct way to apply the selected panel to the file? I am getting a syntax error. Thank you Smilie

Code:
FILESDIR=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/val
PANELDIR=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/panels

PS3="please select a panel: "

cd "$PANELDIR"
select bed in $(ls *.txt)
do    [ "$panel" != "" ] && break
done

PS3="please select a file to analyze with a panel: "

cd "$FILESDIR"
select file1 in $(ls *.vcf)
do    [ "$file1" != "" ] && break
done
      printf "FILE is: ${file1} and will be used filtered to ${panel} \n"
      read -r -p "Is this correct? [y/N] " response
if [[ $response =~ ^[nN][oO]?$ ]]
then
echo 'please try again'  && exit
else

logfile="/home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/val/process.log"
for f in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/val/$file1 ; do
     echo "Start filter creation: $(date) - File: $f"
     bname=$(basename $f)
     pref=${bname%%_*.vcf}
     grep -wFf /home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/panels/$panel $f >/home/cmccabe/Desktop/ref/validation/filtered/${pref}_filtered.txt
     echo "End filder creation: $(date) - File: $f"
done >> "$logfile"
line 32: syntax error: unexpected end of file

NAME
libbash -- A bash shared libraries package. DESCRIPTION
libbash is a package that enables bash dynamic-like shared libraries. Actually its a tool for managing bash scripts whose functions you may want to load and use in scripts of your own. It contains a 'dynamic loader' for the shared libraries ( ldbash(1)), a configuration tool (ldbashconfig(8)), and some libraries. Using ldbash(1) you are able to load loadable bash libraries, such as getopts(1) and hashstash(1). A bash shared library that can be loaded using ldbash(1) must answer 4 requirments: 1. It must be installed in $LIBBASH_PREFIX/lib/bash (default is /usr/lib/bash). 2. It must contain a line that begins with '#EXPORT='. That line will contain (after the '=') a list of functions that the library exports. I.e. all the function that will be usable after loading that library will be listed in that line. 3. It must contain a line that begins with '#REQUIRE='. That line will contain (after the '=') a list of bash libraries that are required for our library. I.e. every bash library that is in use in our bash library must be listed there. 4. The library must be listed (For more information, see ldbashconfig(8)). Basic guidelines for writing library of your own: 1. Be aware, that your library will be actually sourced. So, basically, it should contain (i.e define) only functions. 2. Try to declare all variables intended for internal use as local. 3. Global variables and functions that are intended for internal use (i.e are not defined in '#EXPORT=') should begin with: __<library_name>_ For example, internal function myfoosort of hashstash library should be named as __hashstash_myfoosort This helps to avoid conflicts in global name space when using libraries that come from different vendors. 4. See html manual for full version of this guide. AUTHORS
