I'm confused over some simple bash syntax. If I write the following at the bash (ver 3.0) prompt, all works as expected--no errors. But, if I execute from a script file (which begins with a #!/bin/bash of course), I get: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `then' What am I missing? All help much appreciated. for in $( ls); do if [ "$i" != "incoming/" ]; then echo $i fi done -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina at freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
