Problems with my script. I'm keep getting this error:

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the project2.24.out file because the file does not recongized it, only the project2.12.output does

Here's the code:

if [ `echo $1 | grep -c "24" ` -gt 0 ] #check if command line argument contains 24 or not

then

out_file=project2\.24\.out #set the out file to project2.24.out

current_time=`date +"%D %H:%M:%S"` #format the time to 24 hour format

else

out_file=project2\.12\.out #set the out file to project2.12.out

current_time=`date +"%D %I:%M:%S %p"` #format the time to 12 hour format

fi

echo "**************">$out_file #write the line to file in write mode so that file would get created or replaced

echo "">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "Student name : Mark James">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "Project 2 CIS 129 Sec #">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo $current_time>>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "Student name : Mark James">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "Name Oncall Phone Start Time">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "**** ****** ***** **********">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

echo "">>$out_file #write the line to file in append more so that the line gets added in end of the file

i=0

result[0]=""; #declare empty array to hold lines to be written to output file

while read line #read lines from project2.1.input

do

read first second

while read line1 #read lines from project2.2.input

do

read third forth fifth

if [ `echo $first | grep -c $third ` -gt 0 ] #if name from line in first input file matched with name in line of second input file

then

if [ `echo $1 | grep -c "24" ` -gt 0 ] #if 24 hour format time is requested through command line argument

then

fifth="$fifth hours" #add 'hour' to the time

elif [ $fifth -gt 11 ] #if hour is greater than 11

then

fifth=`expr $fifth - 12` #deduct 12 from time

fifth="$fifth PM" #it's PM

else

fifth="$fifth AM" #it's AM

fi

result[$i]="$first $forth $second $fifth" #Add the line to result to be written to output file

i=`expr $i + 1` #increase the value of i by 1

fi

done

done

days=(Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday) #declare array containing days in week

for day in "${days[@]}" #for every day in days array

do

for line in "${result[@]}" #for every line in result

do

read first second third forth fifth

if [ `echo $day | grep -c $second ` -gt 0 ] #if day in days array matched with day maintained in line

then

echo "$line" >> $out_file #write the line to file

fi

done

done

Can anyone help? I've been stuck on this part for a while.
