i am getting error here because of ;;
Am i supposed to provide ;; at the end of every line or wat?? plz guide

No, only at the end.

You're missing an fi in your first and second cases.

And there's no need to use backticks to execute cat and touch. They can execute all by themselves

thanks
its done now.
