Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have written a korn script (code pasted below). It is giving the error while debugging "new.sh: syntax error at line 62: `end of file' unexpected".

I have re-written the whole code in VI and explored all help related to this error on this Unix forum and tried it. Somehow, I could not figure it out.

Could you please help on this?

This script is written in SunOS 5.8 UNIX Server. Its details are:
$ uname -a
SunOS nwcmp100 5.8 Generic_117350-25 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000

When I run below script in debugger mode:
sh new.sh filename

It exits after if condition and displays error at next line of the last line of the code:

new.sh: syntax error at line 62: `end of file' unexpected


Thank you!!

Best Regards,

1. Please use code tags, the forum offers them
2. I copy&pasted your script and have 56 lines at most
3. In the following line you don't close the "
4. In many lines you use echo with ---- and : etc. which I prefer to surround by " or ', just to make sure I don't get errors.
5. It can be helpful to use vim instead of vi and have the syntax highlighting turned on. It will show if you have forgotten to close brackets or quotes etc. Any other syntax highlighting capable editor will do too of course.

Hi Zaxxon,

Thank you very much for your wonderful replies !!

I am just trying them out.

Actually I did not paste the description (it actually has total 61 lines)

Hi,

I have incorporated your suggested changes. I do not have vim editorr on this SunOs 5.8 server.

I am still getting the same error. Please see the script run in debugger mode.

I am new to this forum. I did not get what did you mean by number 1 point in your reply mail.

Thank you so much for your help.

Np, if you add [ code ] at the start of your code and [ /code ] at the end of your code in your post, you will have this neat blueish background that preservers formatting etc.
The blanks between the square brackets and the word code and /code may not be written to make it going into effect. It will look like this then:

Code:

test

No, I meant I copy & pasted your script to my system and it had only 56 lines

Can you please post the script as it is currently?

Hi Zaxxon,

Thank you for your reply!!

What I meant is that the script contains total 61 lines ( ie first 11 lines are about the type of script, name, input parameter...etc...it is just description about the script.) The actual script starts from line number 12...Please see the actual code pasted below in set nu mode.

Also please refer to the debugged mode script pasted above.

Thanks a lot for your continued help!!

I removed the blanks in the [ code ] and [ /code ] tags so they are working in your previous post. I can't write them here without blanks since they will be substituted immediately.

Code:

        echo "For Country : ${code}     2>&1

.. is missing a closing double quote.

You should really start to edit files with some syntax highlighting editor, maybe on your PC and transfer them to your box. VIM or UltraEdit or... Maybe you can install VIM on your solaris box.
