Yes, here is my working code

Code:
 calc_wt_size
 140 : <<cut
 141 x=1
 142 while [ $x -le 5 ]
 143 do
 144   echo "Welcome {${x}} times"
 145   x=$(( $x + 1 ))
 146 done
 147 pause  
 148 cut          on separate line 
 149 # TOK echo "AFTER CUT "


When I use cut in same file again it gives me error .
One was as originally posted

Here is the new error I am getting



Code:

+ echo 'ANOTHER  cut '
ANOTHER  cut 
+ pause
+ read -p 'Press [Enter] key to continue...' fackEnterKey
Press [Enter] key to continue...
+ :
/usr/bin/raspi-config-DEBUG.sh: line 209: % 2: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "% 2")
/usr/bin/raspi-config-DEBUG.sh: line 3522: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
/usr/bin/raspi-config-DEBUG.sh: line 3522: `}'

And here is the code causing the new error

Both lines 209 and 210 cause same error when uses separately.


Code:
echo "ANOTHER  cut "
 208 pause 
 209  : <<cut
 210 : <<cut
 211 echo "AFTER LAST cut @line $LINENO"
 212 pause 
 213 do
 214 #if [ "$(( $choice % 2))" -ne 0 ];
 215 #echo $choice
 216 #pause 
 217         case $choice in

locale::codes::langext

Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangExt;

	  $lext = code2langext('acm');		       # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
	  $code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

	  @codes   = all_langext_codes();
	  @names   = all_langext_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in
       the IANA language registry.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
       registry codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
       a constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
	  $lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
