Btw, you don't need all those end-of-line-escapes in your script. Actually you don't even need braces in function definition.

I do.

$ foo() echo jopa;
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `echo'
$ foo() { echo jopa; }
$ foo
jopa

I don't, but they improve readability by telling "it's not finished yet". :)

Oops, my bad. I just quickly checked in some shells but haven't checked the standard.
OTOH, just to show that braces in principle can be omitted, this should work in any POSIX-compliant shell:

foo() for i in jopa; do echo $i; done

That's interesting. Thanks!
