Hi,

I have 25 lines script then I try to add an "if" loop so
in this loop, after "else" I want to go to 10.line, how can I?

AFAIK, no shell have goto feature, and even needs one.
In the man page of your shell, pay attention to the looping mechanisms, like while, until and to case.
If you're still stuck, come back with what you have and what you can't do.

Hope This Help, PH.

In csh it is possible to use goto.

> goto mylabel
will continue after line that is marked
> mylabel:

Unfortunately afaik sch scripts are not recommended, but that is the shell I know best.

Perhaps function will work for you? (bash)

function foo {
   echo "foo"
}

echo "bar"
foo
echo "foobar"
foo
