Code:

IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
function gettext () {
echo -e "What list will I be using?"
read -er item
#Allowing for, and correcting, the trailing space in interactive mode

echo -e "File $file1 now has an \e[42mExif Image Description.\e[0m"
done<capfile
IFS=$SAVEIFS
returns
Code:
bash: capfile: No such file or directory
Both shellcheck online and my installed version indicate no errors. I've cleared any older variables (command:
exec bash) but the error persists.
This one definitely needs another pair of eyes.

PS: No need; the "capfile" variable after
done was missing its
$.
(Someone please delete this thread. I know I did something right by posting it to the "Newbie" section; what a piker error this was!)
