Question Syntax Error Script
Hi guys i'd like to show you this code of my script, where i couldn't find this error
" [ !-d: commando not found"
"Syntax error near unexpected token `fi' "

my code:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
	#copiabin.sh: copia todos los archivos ejecutables a bin 
	if [ !-d $HOME/bin ]
	then
	   mkdir $HOME/bin
	fi
	# copia de archivos y contador N
	N=0
	
	for ARCH in *
	do
	   if [ -x $ARCH -a -f $ARCH ] # Si el archivo es ejecutable y es un fichero comun (no directorio)
           then
	       cp $ARCH $HOME/bini
	       echo " $ARCH fue copiado a $HOME/bin"
	       N='expr $N + 1'
	   fi
	done
	if [ $N -eq 0 ]
	then
	    echo "No se copio ningun archivo"
	else
	    echo "Se copiaron $N archivos"
	fi

Some idea to help?
Thanks!!!

That will not work. You need to have a space after the file/directory name too. Also, the script provided has many other errors.

Hi pamu, you right i miss the white space, but the other error it's still alive, the unexpected toke fi on 16 line, it's about the fi below of the line that content

Code:
N='expr $N + 1'
fi

Yes you are missing the required spaces between all your square brackets...
Go and look your code, I made some changes...
