Help troubleshooting looped if statement..
Greetings all. I am trying to use the following code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
geoDirs=("/logsync/GEO/DBS" "/logsync/GEO/NS")

for i in "${geoDirs[@]}"
do
        if[ "$(ls -A $i)" ]
                then
                        echo "Test"
        fi
done

Doing this returns the following error:
Code:
./test.sh: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token 'then'
./test.sh: line 8: '                        then'

Can anyone help with the syntax? I can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong unless it has to do with the whitespace. Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

you need to add a space after "if"

#!/bin/bash
geoDirs=("/logsync/GEO/DBS" "/logsync/GEO/NS")

for i in "${geoDirs[@]}"
do
if [ "$(ls -A $i)" ]
then
echo "Test"
fi
done
