PostPosted: Sun 11 Oct 2009, 20:39    Post subject:  My Bash script won't run
Subject description: command not found		  
Whenever I try to run my script, I get " : command not found"
I can't figure out what's causing it

Here's the script
Code:

#!/bin/bash
#pkg2pet convert deb or rpm to pet

pkgtypefunc() {
 local PKG="$1"
 BASENAME=$(basename "$PKG")
 PKGTYPE="${BASENAME##*.}"
 case $PKGTYPE in
  deb)
   echo Found Debian package: $BASENAME
  ;;
  rpm)
   echo Found RPM package: $BASENAME
  ;;
  *)
   echo Unknown/unsupported package: $BASENAME
   exit 1
  ;;
 esac
}

DIALOG="Xdialog"
[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && DIALOG="dialog"

if [ "$#" = "0" ]; then
 ARGS=$($DIALOG --stdout --title "Select a package" --fselect $HOME 0 0)
 RET=$?
 case $RET in
  0)
   #do nothing
  ;;
  *)
   exit $RET
  ;;
 esac
else
 ARGS="$@"
fi

for PKG in $ARGS; do
 if [ ! -e "$PKG" ]; then
  echo $PKG not found
  exit 1
 fi
 pkgtypefunc "$PKG"
 case $PKGTYPE in
  deb)
   PETNAME="${BASENAME%%.deb}"
   TMP="/tmp/$PKGTYPE/$PETNAME"
   mkdir -p "$TMP"
   dpkg-deb -x "$PKG" "$TMP" || exit 1
  ;;
  rpm)
   PETNAME="${BASENAME%%.rpm}"
   TMP="/tmp/$PKGTYPE/$PETNAME"
   mkdir -p "$TMP"
   ( cd "$TMP" || exit 1
   rpm2cpio "$PKG" | cpio -vid || exit 1
   )
  ;;
 esac
 ( cd "$TMP" || exit 1
 echo \
 "PETMENUDESCR=''
 PETOFFICIALDEPS''
 PETREGISTER='yes'" \
 > $PETNAME.pet.specs
 cd ..
 tar -cvzf "$PETNAME.tar.gz" "$PETNAME"
 tgz2pet "$PETNAME.tar.gz"
 )
done

If you modified your permissions to make it executable then the next step is to put echo 1 ..... echo 999 throughout the code and see where it is. That's my crude bash debugging technique - similar to assert() in C programs.
