bash error message help? 1

unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'

I am receiving this error from a bash script I'm running. Is it trying to tell me that it is looking for a ` or " or ' character?

I've checked and had others check and I cannot find ANY backtics in my script and ANY/ALL uses of " or ' are definitely paired.

Any ideas as to what I might look for next???

Thanks

Hi

Is it trying to tell me that it is looking for a ` or " or ' character?

If not sure, try them :

[blue]master #[/blue] bash <<EOS
echo `foo
EOS
bash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `foo

[blue]master #[/blue] bash <<EOS
echo "foo
EOS
bash: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
bash: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

[blue]master #[/blue] bash <<EOS
echo 'foo
EOS
bash: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
bash: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

So look for an unclosed double quote ( " ).
