    Your lines are being counted strange: I think the error is for a different file. Editing the wrong file is one of the most common reasons for confusion, when a fix does not work. – ctrl-alt-delor Mar 05 '19 at 10:01

[ is a command.
So you have to do like any other command put space after it to handle argument.
Try man [.
If you type echofoo in a terminal it won't work except if you have a binary/command explicity named echofoo, it most likely says the same thing as your error echofoo: command not found.

You need to add space symbol after open bracket and space before close bracket. This line:

if ["$ATTACH"="Y"|"y"]

to become (to work with more than one symbol)

if [[ $ATTACH == [Yy] ]]

The same for

until ["$userIn" = "j"]

to be

until [ "$userIn" = "j" ]
