I'm scripting in Unix for my first time today. Does anyone know why I get the error "on line 20: unexpected error near ')'
Quote:case $choice in
a|A)
I must admit, I'm quite puzzled by the above syntax as well. Are you certain that your parenthesis should be unmatched?
Try this:
echo -e "what would you like to do?\n"echo -n "A. List the contents of the capital.ca file, sorted inalphabetical order by capital names, and all fields separated bycolons.?"echo " "echo "B. Display the names of the capital name, follwed by a comma,followd by the province name, in alphabetical order by province name?"echo -necho "C. List the provinces.ca file, sorted in numerical order bypopulation, the province with the largest population first and thesmallest population"read choice; echoclear;case $choice in a|A)echo "Here's the contents of the capital.ca file, sorted in"echo "alphabetical order"; ;; *)echo "end" ;;esacThis topic is closed to new replies.
