Simple bash script; what's wrong with this syntax?

Question

I\'m reading bash script tutorials and this seems like it should work, but I clearly am missing something:

isframecount=0
framecount=0
while read p; do
  if [\"$         


        

Answer 1

if [ "$isframecount" -eq 0 ]

Spaces are required on both sides of the square brackets.

isframecount=1

No dollar sign, no spaces around = in an assignment statement.
