Script error?

[stjude1982]

Can anyone tell me why simple file report script as below, works if I type out full path name, or even using '.' for current directory but will not allow use of '~' for home directory? See screenshot of script running below, also:

Any help understanding this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Add -x behind the shebang to debug the script or just run the script like this:

bash -x filereport.sh

It will then literally give you output of what it is executing and that way you can see where it's going wrong.

Oh, thank you - I'll give that a try. I am new to this, so may not understand it.

Interesting question. I have the same problems with my excel homework.

I'll try what was suggested below, and if I can figure it out, I'll let you know
