Hello everyone, I am having trouble executing a script

When I try to, I get this: Line 31: Syntax error near unexpected token fi and Line 31: fi



if test $# = 0
then
echo
echo This script requires 1 argument
exit
fi

declare -i fileCount
declare -i dirCount
declare -i exeCount

fileCount=0
dirCount=0
exeCount=0

for i in $*
do
if test -f $1
then
fileCount=fileCount+1
fi
if test -d $1
then
dirCount=dirCount+1
fi
if test -x $1
then
exeCount=exeCount+1
fi
done
fi

echo Number of Files found=$fileCount
echo Number of Directories found=$dirCount
echo Number of Executable Files found=$exeCount

Looks like you have an extra "fi" after "done".

You don't need the last 'fi'

Why don't you do it like that:

Your last 'fi' does not match an 'if'.

next time please use the [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tokens and indent your code, it will be easier to read.

I deleted it and it still gave the error message

Ok here it goes again:

I still get the same error message

This shouldn't give any error and it doesn't for me.

You're missing some token that you haven't posted online.

Are you sure you are editing the same script that you are running? The posted script doesn't give any error on my system either.

Thanks everyone, it finally worked. I was editing the backup file, not the original one. The original one still had that extra 'fi'.
