What is wrong with this recipe?
verify () {
for i in "$*"
do
if [ -r "$i" ]
then
cd `dirname $i`
shortname=`basename $i`
md5sum "$shortname" > "$shortname.md5sum"
echo "Verified $shortname to $shortname.md5sum"
else
echo "Can't find $i"
fi
done
}
Here's what happens when I enter it on the commandline:
verify () {
function> for i in "$*"
function for> do
function for> if [ -r "$i" ]
function for if> then
function for then> cd `dirname $i`
function for then> shortname=`basename $i`
function for then> md5sum "$shortname" > "$shortname.md5sum"
function for then> echo "Verified $shortname to $shortname.md5sum"
function for then> else
function for else> echo "Can't find $i"
function for else> fi
function for else> done
zsh: parse error near `done'
I'm sure it's obvious.... but I've been looking at it and it makes no sense
to me...

^^^^^
Note, zsh thinks you're still in the "else" clause!

Check to see whether you have aliased "fi" to something else. That's the
only thing I know of that can cause this behavior.

Oh DUUUUUUUHHHHHH
alias fi='fgrep -i'
I did this just today, you'd THINK my mind would remember that but you'd be
wrong ;-)
Thanks (again) Bart... how many is that I owe you ;-?
