help with if statement bash

[luie420]

Why doesn't my bash script like my if statement?

What I got so far is

echo -n "Enter Filename:"
s=0
read fn
if (find $fn); then
while read k
do
echo $k
let $n+$k
done <---- might be wrong $fn
echo " "
echo " "
echo "Sum is" $n
echo " "
read -p "Enter to continue"
done
fi

can someone help me out?

Bash uses square brackets in if statemetnts []

Take a look at the Bash Introduction to if

I'm trying to get numbers from a file and for the script to read the numbers could be any number and any amount of numbers and for the script to add the numbers up in the end

Maybe that's what's wrong but another person used () and it worked fine for me so I don't know.

Try this one:

#!/bin/bash

SUM=0

while read -p 'Enter filname: ' FN; do
	if [[ -f "$FN" ]]; then
		N=$(<"$FN")
		(( SUM += N ))
		echo "Current sum is $SUM."
		read -p "Press enter key to continue."
	else
		echo "Entered file does not exist: $FN."
	fi
done
