Unexpected token fi

lukefrost2014

I am trying to run my command but it comes up with this error:

syntax error near unexpected token `fi' on line 7.

Here is my command:

if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
if [ $1 = head ] || [$1 = tail ]
then
$1 -n $3
else
fi
fi

if [ -d $3 ]
then
echo "Directory selected exists"
else
echo "Directory selected does not exist"
fi

if [[ $2 = *[[:digit:[[* [[;
then
echo "value is a digit"
else
echo "$2 is not an integer"
fi

You did not put an action to execute after the else statement. The "else" statement always needs an action in order for the command to execute properly.

If this is not satisfied, "$1 -n $3, what should the command do as a result?

fi
fi

if [ -d $3 ]
then
echo "Directory selected exists"
else
echo "Directory selected does not exist"
fi

if [[ $2 = *[[:digit:[[* [[;
then
echo "value is a digit"
else
echo "$2 is not an integer"
fi
