Shell Programming and Scripting

My shell script was working ok with K shell.
But all of sudden, it started acting crazy.
it keeps saying this:

syntax error at line 70 : `"' unmatched



I don't even have 70 lines in my file


or this :
syntax error at line 69: `end of file' unexpected



Can this file got corrupted somehow?
How do I fix it?

Check for syntax errors on lines above the stated error - or it could even be at the begining of your script! A misplaced quote that isn't closed, a if statement that isn't closed. If you have a backup copy, check for differences between the two.

You are right.
I checked and found out somehow the begining two lines got merged ..



Thnks for the help!!!!!

Here is my script:
Can someone help me find out what is wrong?

========================================

In your elif ...

[ "$intCODE" = "54ektimereport.13273 ] <-- missing closing quote

RTM,
I don't know what to say.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I guess from now on if I see this kind message again, I should just ignore it and check from the very begining of my file for every single little detail.

I don't like it! But thank you for all your help!!
