I'm confused over some simple bash syntax. If I write the following at
the bash (ver 3.0) prompt, all works as expected--no errors.

But, if I execute from a script file (which begins with a #!/bin/bash of
course), I get:

	line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `then'

What am I missing? All help much appreciated.


for in $( ls); do
if [ "$i" != "incoming/" ]; then
echo $i
fi
done
