Unexpected end of file

[elija]

I am writing my my first shell script which as it happens is a pre-commit hook
for subversion. The intent is to give a message if no log entry is found when
committing.

When I attempt a commit (either with or without a log entry) I get an error that
says line 17: syntax error: Unexpected end of file

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

#!/bin/sh

# PRE-COMMIT HOOK
REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"

# Make sure that the log message contains some text.
SVNLOOK=/usr/bin/svnlook
$SVNLOOK log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]{4,}" > /dev/null
if %errorlevel%=0 exit 0

echo "Your commit has been disallowed as you have provided no log entry"
echo "Please try again with a log message including the sales order or support number"
echo "This means YOU!"

exit 1

You have a problem with your if statement. Try:

if %errorlevel%=0 ; then exit 0 ; fi

Hi.

The if looks like a DOSism. Details on bash decisions can be found in http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginne...l/chap_07.html for example ... cheers, drl

Thanks guys. You pointed me in the right direction

The code that finally worked (who'd a thunk the spaces in the []
would be so damned important!)

#!/bin/sh

# PRE-COMMIT HOOK
REPOS="$1"
TXN="$2"

# Make sure that the log message contains some text.
/usr/bin/svnlook log -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | /bin/grep "[a-zA-Z0-9]" > /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]
        then exit 0;
fi

echo "Your commit has been disallowed as you have provided no log message." 1>&2
echo "Please try again with a log message including the sales order or support number." 1>&2
echo "This means YOU!" 1>&2

exit 1
