Execution problem with IF statement
Hi,

I am trying to execute the below statment in my script.am getting the error as " syntax error near unexpected token 'else'. Is If statement is correct.

Code:
if [[ $q_dirs == 'q1' || $q_dirs == 'gf' || $q_dirs == 'tf' || $q_dirs == 'hi' || $q_dirs == 'ac' ]];
then
  if [[ $q_dirs == 'q1' || $q_dirs == 'gf' ]];
  then
    cp $src_dir/import-serv/$q_dirs*.txt  $tgt_dir/$q_dirs/import-serv/
  else
    cdsgq_dir=`echo $q_dirs | sed 's/global//' | awk '{print}'|tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
    echo $cdsgq_dir 
    #cdsgq_dir=echo $q_dirs | sed 's/cdsglobal//' | awk '{print}' 
    cp $src_dir/import-serv/$cdsgq_dir*.txt  $tgt_dir/$q_dirs/import-serv/
  else
    cp $src_dir/import-serv/$q_dirs*.txt  $tgt_dir/error_files/
  fi
fi

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks in advance

fi

You have a second else statement !
