#!/bin/bash

clean_fun()

sed 's/^#.*$//g' $pathfile > /tmp/arg

echo -e "insert file name: nfile path will be $HOME/Desktop/filename."

read name

sed '/^$/d' /tmp/arg > /home/da7id/Desktop/"$name"

clear

echo

echo "insert pathfile [within single quotes] you want hashtag lines cleaned:"

read pathfile

pathfile=$(echo "$pathfile:1:$#pathfile-2")

clean_fun $pathfile

echo "do you want to see source-code of this script? [y/n]"

read a

if [[ "$a" -eq y ]]

then

cat /home/da7id/scripts_alias_folder/delete_#lines_copy.sh

I have done this script. the first part is working fine but when it asks for print the source-code of the script and the cat command comes in the shell crashes and closes.
I've been googling a lot but didn't find an explanation.
can you help me?
