Hi

- are there any special signs (tabs, white spaces, ..,) before ore after the ! in line 92 and line 167 ?

You can see this with "set list" in vi.

- Try another keyword, so replace ! by e.g NEWKEYWORD in line 92 and line 167

Hi,
Try commenting this line and running the script
again.
cat << !

Do you have changed it in line 162 too ?

Hi
excuse me, line 167
I've tried your script and it works if you delete the white space after ! in line 167

Chris

syntax:
cat <text
...
...
KEYWORD

Hi Ravi,

You have a trailing space after both "!" characters. I removed it and it all seems to work fine.

Hi,
Try commenting lines staring with string header

don't use keyword EOF or you'll run into trouble also.

use EOCAT or EOFTP etc..

Hi Ravi,

You've already corrected some typos in your script, but I can still find some minor problems :

- try to avoid ending spaces. For example, if you use \ to continue a line, it should protect the CR, not a space. You can remove all endind spaces from vi simply using :

:%s/ *//

You have this at line 200.

- if you use " to define a string, the content of variables will be evaluated in execution. Sometimes you want it, sometimes you don't ... If you don't, rather use simple quotes '

In your case, $header will be evaluated to null in

header_string="$Header: compjsp.sh 1.03 2002/05/22 16:49:14 cpeixoto sh $"

if -u flag is set in an interpretor, then evaluating an unet variable will give the message 'parameter not set'. If you want to get an empty string for unset variables, just add

set +u

to you script to reset this flag.

Regards,

Jean-Louis.
