Question

Whenever I run this script the find part executes but the if statement causes this error:

./list_datasheets.csh: line 13: syntax error: unexpected end of file

this is the script:

find $1  -type d | while read -r dir
    do
    for f in ${dir}/*
    do
        echo ${f} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'
    done
done
if ($2 == "both") then 
    echo 'bye'
else
    echo 'hi'
endif

Answer 1

Try replacing the last line (endif) with fi, which is the correct token to close an if statement.

Also, replace ($2 == "both") with the correct [ $2 == "both" ].

Oh, and then, actually the if should be written as:

   if [ "$2" = "both" ]; then
      echo 'bye'
   else
      echo 'hi'
   fi

Note the quotes around $2, the spaces after [ and before ] and the ; before the then.
