Error in Bash: line 77: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Hi,

I got this error. I really don't know why and it's driving me crazy. If remove transferFileFTP funcion from my code, I don't get this error. Check the code (I removed some lines):

Code:

#!/bin/bash



today=$(date +%h%d)

todayAll=$(date +%Y%m%d)

logFile='/usr/tibco/utilities/backup/log/backupFilesJennie_'$todayAll

localFolders=( '/usr/tibco/utilities/listeners/logs/Pgt' '/usr/tibco/utilities/MRA/log' '/export/home/files3/Kondor/NewYork/Reports/MxNotepads/dat' )

remoteFolders=( '/files/home/tibco/fromJennie/Pgt' '/files/home/tibco/fromJennie/MRA' '/files/home/tibco/fromJennie/MxNotepads')

index=( 0 1 2 )

globalFolders=( 'Global' 'Notepads' 'Risk' )



function transferFileFTP

{

        host=""

        user=""

        pass=""

        

        ftp -inv $host<<ENDFTP

                user $user $pass

                put $1/$3 $2/$3 

                bye

        ENDFTP





}



function getFileDay

{

        cd $1

        local i=''

        for i in *.log

        do

                fileDate=$(ls -l ${i} | awk '{ print $6 $7 }')

                if [ $today == $fileDate ]

                then

                        echo $i

                        return 1

                fi

        done

        echo "No found"

}



function getGlobalFilesDay

{

        for i in "{globalFiles[@]}"

        do

                file=$(getFileDay $1/$i/$todayAll)

                if [ file != "No found" ]

                then

                        transferFileFTP $1/$i $2/$i $file

                        echo "File $file transfered successfully" >> $logFile

                else

                        echo "File not found in $i" >> $logFile

                fi

        done

}



echo "### BACKUP FILES FROM JENNIE TO BUSINESS WORK MACHINE $todayAll ###" >> $logFile

for j in "${index[@]}"

do

        result=$(expr match ${localFolders[$j]} '*.MxNotepads')

        if [ $result -eq 0 ]

        then

                file=$(getFileDay ${localFolders[$j]})

                if [ file != "No found" ]

                then

                        transferFileFTP ${localFolders[$j]} ${remoteFolders[$j]} $file

                        echo "File $file transfered successfully" >> $logFile

                else

                        echo "File not found in $i" >> $logFile

                fi

        else

                getGlobalFilesDay ${localFolders[$j]} ${remoteFolders[$j]}

        fi        

done

echo "### END ###" >> $logFile

exit 0

Thanks in advance!

Please place in [code][/code] tags so the code is readable.

Hi,

In addition to grail's request: Post _all_ of the script. An error like that can be caused by, for example, a missing quote, anywhere in the script.

Hi,

This is incorrect (the red part):

Code:

function transferFileFTP

{

        host=""

        user=""

        pass=""

        

        ftp -inv $host<<ENDFTP

                user $user $pass

                put $1/$3 $2/$3 

                bye

        ENDFTP

}

The end of a here-document should always be at the beginning of the line:

Code:

function transferFileFTP

{

        host=""

        user=""

        pass=""

        

        ftp -inv $host<<ENDFTP

                user $user $pass

                put $1/$3 $2/$3 

                bye

ENDFTP

}

Hope this helps.

Yeah, it helped me a lot. I'm getting used to writting code in Bash. Thanks!

As an addendum to druuna's information (which is all correct), you can also places a dash before the name should you need to preserve the indentation:

Code:

function transferFileFTP

{

        host=""

        user=""

        pass=""

        

        ftp -inv $host<<-ENDFTP

                user $user $pass

                put $1/$3 $2/$3 

                bye

        ENDFTP

}

I also noticed that the variable 'file' has been used in a number of places without the preceding $ to use it as a variable:

Code:

if [ file != "No found" ]

Thanks!
