"Line 7 : syntax error near unexpected token ')' and Line 7: "option 1-?")"
 

Hello my name is Tiffney,
I am brand new to Linux and working on an assignment for school. I am writing a script with a loop. The outcome of my script should look like this:

[tiffney2018@fedori FinalProject]$ bash MenuProject
1) Option 1 -?
2) Option 2 -?
3) Option 3 - ?
4) Quit
Please enter your choice:

Instead my end result is:

error message:
"Line 7 : syntax error near unexpected token ')'
"Line 7: "option 1-?")"

My script is below: Any help is appreciated.

#!/bin/bash
PS3='Please enter your choice:'
options=('Option 1 - ?" "Option 2 - ?" "Option 3 - ?" "Quit")
select opt in "\${options[@]}"
do
case/$opt in
"Option 1 - ?")
echo "you chose option 1"
;;
"Option 2 - ?")
echo "you chose option 2"
;;
"Option 3 - ?")
echo "you chose option 3"
;;
"Quit")
break
;;
*)echo invalid option;;
esac
done
EOF

case/$opt in

should not have the /, but a space.

The reason line 7 is the error is that the command parsing didn't detect the error until then. Backing up a token at a time shows the error.

things would be easier to read using the code /code blocks - that preserves the indentation.

The script you've posted doesn't generate the error you've posted without a different error being fixed first. When the error you posted is fixed, a different error becomes apparent.

Did you copy/paste your actual script in to your post or type it all out?

Check your quotes and currency unit representations. ;)

Also as already suggested, put your code blocks, it makes it a lot easier to read. Look for # button in toolbar when composing.

Thank you jpollard that was it.
I spent 5 days trying to figure out where I went wrong!
Greatly appreciated.

Forgive me for my ignorance, I am trying to learn so much at once.
In both reply's code blocks were suggested, this is not a term I am familiar with, however would like to
incorporate your advise when I am writing script. I will search the forum for more information on code blocks.

Code blocks are identified by "[ code ]" (without the spaces), and "[ /code ]" (again without the spaces), with the programming code inside.

code blocks are for the forums, not for your script!
