讀取循環中意外的語法錯誤

Question

我不確定我在這裏錯過了什麼。我有以下讀取循環在我的計劃：

while true 
do 
    read -p "Would you like to enter an end date (y/n) (if no, end date will default to today) " answer 

    case $answer in 
    [yY]*) while true 
      do 
       read -p "Please enter an end date in yyyymmdd format: " answer 

       echo Running script from dates $startDate to $answer 
       ruby $DIR/dinersDataAutomation.rb -s $startDate -e $answer 
       break 
      done 
      break 

    [nN]*) echo Running script with a start date of $startDate 
      ruby $DIR/dinersDataAutomation.rb -s $startDate 
      break 

    *)  echo "Please enter Y or N" 
    esac 
done 

這將產生以下錯誤：

./getDinersInfo.sh: line 56: syntax error near unexpected token `)' 
./getDinersInfo.sh: line 56: `  [nN]*) echo Running script with a start date of $startDate' 

對於我的生活，我不能找出錯誤可能是什麼。 $startDate在先前的讀取循環中被定義，所以我知道這並不是$startDate未定義的事實。

我很感激第二組眼睛讓我知道我在這些線上缺少的東西。

您沒有用雙分號結束前面的程序段。

case $answer in 
    [yY]*) while true 
      do 
       read -p "Please enter an end date in yyyymmdd format: " answer 

       echo Running script from dates $startDate to $answer 
       ruby $DIR/dinersDataAutomation.rb -s $startDate -e $answer 
       break 
      done 
      break 
      ;; 

    [nN]*) echo Running script with a start date of $startDate 
      ruby $DIR/dinersDataAutomation.rb -s $startDate 
      break 
      ;; 

    *)  echo "Please enter Y or N" 
      ;; 
esac
