And close behind that, ANOTHER bad script

This script Code:#!/bin/bash
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
tref="Topless Treats""
cate=PRN
pic=0
function oliverhardy () {
echo -e "What list file will I be using?"
read -e thelist

if [[ "$thelist" =~ " " ]]; then
fg=${thelist% *}
else
fg=$thelist
fi
}

oliverhardy
while read fg
do
echo -e "Working on item '$fg' now."
exiv2 --keep -M"set Iptc.Application2.TransmissionReference $tref" -M"set Xmp.photoshop.TransmissionReference $tref" "$fg"
echo -e "TRANSMISSION REFERENCE = $tref"
exiv2 --keep -M"set Iptc.Application2.Category $cate" -M"set Xmp.photoshop.Category $cate" "$fg"
echo "CATEGORY = $cate"
pic=$[pic+1]
done<$fg
echo -e "$pic files annotated \(category PRN\) this run." returns the following errorsCode:/home/carver/bin/holyrefer/treftopl: line 28: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/home/carver/bin/holyrefer/treftopl: line 29: syntax error: unexpected end of fileAnd with line 25 changed to Code: echo "CATEGORY = $cate"...my installed ShellCheck returns Code:In /home/steve/bin/holyrefer/treftopl line 29:
^-- SC1072: Expected end of double quoted string. Fix any mentioned problems and try again.Some of this code works fine in similar scripts I've written. Why is it buggy here?
