clear

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 


fi



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?
