Shell script syntax error: unexpected end of line
- by user1557674
I wrote a simple shell script to check for the existence of a xml file and if it exists, then rename an old xml file to be backup and then move the new xml file to where the old xml file was stored.
#!/bin/sh
oldFile="/Documents/sampleFolder/sampleFile.xml"
newFile="/Documents/sampleFile.xml"
backupFileName="/Documents/sampleFolder/sampleFile2.backup"
oldFileLocation="/Documents/sampleFolder"
if [ -f "$newFile" ] ; then
echo "File found"
#Rename old file
mv $oldFile $backupFileName
#move new file to old file's location
mv $newFile $oldFileLocation
else
echo "File not found, do nothing"
fi
However, every time I try to run the script, I get 4 command not found messages and a syntax error: unexpected end of file. Any suggestions on why I get these command not found errors or the unexpected end of file? I double checked that I closed all my double quotes, I have code highlight :)
EDIT:
output from running script:
: command not found:
: command not found:
: command not found1:
: command not found6:
replaceXML.sh: line 26: syntax error: unexpected end of file
