If I'm not mistaken you close the 'if' with a 'fi'. Not sure, I don't write bash scripts, but I saw it come along on numerous occasions when snooping around.

Hello,

153rd, I agree with you that in bash (Bourne Again Shell), we close the 'if' block with 'fi'. But in csh (C Shell), we close it with 'endif' (http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-G...tml/x7369.html).

As for the above code, it looks right. Might be a small syntax mistake. Try to change echo $answ to echo "$answ" like in this http://www.csee.wvu.edu/~hayhurst/cs604/scripts.htm

Please use [code][/code] tags when showing code / data.

I haven't looked at csh in forever, but I think you cannot have something on the same line as the else.
