Help to resolve unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' error
Hi,
can someone kindly look into my copy script and figure out why am i getting a "unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' error message
Code:
#!/bin/ksh -x
 
 
cd /home/goldenga/test/flag37
 
if [ -f "copied.ok" ]; then
rm copied.ok
cd /home/goldenga/test
Upper=`ls -t|grep 'qw*'|cut -d "w" -f 2|head -2|tail -1`
lower=`ssh goldenga@10.132.109.37 ls -t /home/goldenga/test|grep 'qw*'|cut -d "w" -f 2|head -1`
fst=$Upper
lst=$lower
fst=`expr $fst + 0`
lst=`expr $lst + 0`
    if [ "$fst" -eq "$lst" ]; then
       echo "No Files To Copy"
 
    else if [ "$lst -lt "$fst" ]; then 
            a=$lst
            while [[ $a -le $fst ]]; do 
  
                  a=`echo $a |awk '{ printf "%06d\n", $0 }'`
                  fil="qw"$a
                  echo $fil
                  a=`expr $a + 1`
                  scp -rp $fil 10.132.109.37:/home/goldenga/test
   
            done
 
         else
            a=$lst
            while [[ $a -ge $fst ]]; do 
 
                  a=`echo $a |awk '{ printf "%06d\n", $0 }'`
                  fil="qw"$a
                  echo $fil
                  a=`expr $a + 1`
                  scp -rp $fil 10.132.109.37:/home/goldenga/test 
 
                   if [ $a -eq 999999 ];
                      then a=0
                   fi
            done
         fi
     fi
cd /home/goldenga/test/flag37
touch copied.ok
 
#else 
#echo $a 
fi

Just for the record:
* a good syntax highlighting editor would reveal the error right away, when quoted strings are colored differently.
* Shell should give you syntax error on this. You can use -n switch to check for syntax errors without running.
* Please use code tags when posting code or i/o.
