Another Question?
This one keeps saying "unexprected end of file" i cant figure out what is wrong with it...


Quote:
n=`date +%S`
a=0
num=0
while [ $num !=q ]
do
echo "Please Guess The Number I am Thinking of Between: (0-60):"
read num
a=`expr $a + 1`
if [ $num -gt $n ]
then
echo "too high"
elif [ $num -lt $n ]
then
echo "too low"
elif [ $num -eq $n ]
echo "You are right!!
echo "the number is: $num"
echo "your total number of guesses: $a"
else
echo "Good Bye"
fi
done

You were warned in another thread to read the rules. Please do. Bumping is not allowed.
This statement:
while [ $num !=q ]
needs some work. Smilie
