Dear other forum members,

I'm writing a script for my homework, but I'm scratching all over my head and still can't figure out what I did wrong. I appreciate if anyone of you can point out my errors. I thank you in advance.

-bash-3.2$ cat payinfo
#!/bin/bash
#
#This shell script compiles two types of data files into two temporary files:
#$depts and $payroll
#It matches the employee IDs from the two files
#and extracts the regular/overtime worked hours and pay rates
#to calculate each employees' total wages earned
#from January to June 2004
#It generates an error message and excludes an employee from the calculation
#if the ID does not exist in both files
#It calculates the total number of employee paid and the total regular/overtime
#paid out amount in the end
#
#usage: payinfo -d directory_with_data_files
#
if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
echo "payinfo:ERROR: at least teo arguments required"
echo "usage: payinfo -d directory_with_data_files"
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -d "$2" -o ! -r "$2" -o ! -x "$2" ]; then
echo "payinfo:ERROR: '$2' is not a directory or does not have appropriate permissions (rx)"
echo "usage: payinfo -d directory_with_data_files"
exit 1
fi

cat "$dir"/[DE][0-9][0-9] > $depts

for emp in $empid; do
