Need help line 35: syntax error: unexpected end of file only 34 lines of code
I am not sure what I am doing wrong here, I did some research and only confused myself further. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to make this work for work tomorrow.

There are only 34 lines of code in this script, yet its complaining about line 35

Here is the code:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
VUE_SEND_DIR=/blah/send
VUE_GET_DIR=/blah/receive
LC_GET_DIR=/usr/public/blah/blah/CDK/get
LC_SEND_DIR=/usr/public/blah/blah/CDK/send


PS3='Let me know what you would like to do'
LIST="Pull Send EXIT"
select OPT in $LIST
do
if [ $OPT = "Pull" ] &> /dev/null
then
sftp blah@sftp.blah.com <<EOF

        cd $VUE_SEND_DIR
        lcd $LC_GET_DIR
        mget *
        exit
    EOF
elif [ $OPT = "Send" ] &> /dev/null
then
sftp blah@sftp.blah.com <<EOF

        cd $VUE_GET_DIR
        lcd $LC_SEND_DIR
        mget *
        exit
    EOF
elif [ $OPT = "END" ] &> /dev/null
then
exit 0
fi
done

You're missing the final 'else' in your if statement.

Format is:

if
elif
else
fi

Hope this helps.

It works for me:

Code:
# ./mySCPScript.sh
1) Pull
2) Send
3) EXIT
Let me know what you would like to do

Try to "vi <script>" and see if there are "^M" in the end of the lines!

If they are there, try: "dos2unix <script>"

Regards.

The "EOF" at both the places should begin at column number 1.

The script works in Cygwin Bash if that is fixed.

Code:
$
$
$ cat -n f34
     1  #!/bin/bash
     2  VUE_SEND_DIR=/blah/send
     3  VUE_GET_DIR=/blah/receive
     4  LC_GET_DIR=/usr/public/blah/blah/CDK/get
     5  LC_SEND_DIR=/usr/public/blah/blah/CDK/send
     6

    12  if [ $OPT = "Pull" ] &> /dev/null
    13  then
    14  sftp blah@sftp.blah.com <<EOF
    15
    16          cd $VUE_SEND_DIR
    17          lcd $LC_GET_DIR

Probably this is not the problem!

When you "vi <script>", can you see "^M"?

Also, add this line write after the interpreter:
Code:
set -xv

Run the script and check the output to see if it helps you.

This will solve your problem, that's why it worked for me! When I copied/pasted, the "EOF" went back to the first column. =o)
