Since you are showing only nine lines, I am not sure how you want the reader to debug line 11 in your script.

Continuation lines begin with punctuation. Otherwise, add a command.

Explained: Continuation sections

A line that starts with "and", "or", ||, &&, a comma, or a period is automatically merged with the line directly above it (in v1.0.46+, the same is true for all other expression operators except ++ and --).

This is explained in the link that I have already posted. For your script, method #2 is straightforward. If you do not need extra blank lines, you can eliminate the {Enter}.

Sorry i dont understand. I am a newb at this

OK. Using the bounding parentheses as shown is a way to refer to an entire block of text. The line breaks will be preserved. If you click the link marked "Continuation sections", more details are provided about the syntax as well as other options.
