guys, my if statement is just executing the 1st part, the else is never executed, even if trying with nonexistent files, files with no reading access. it's so sad, I have been trying but nothing. Would anyone suggest a trial for me please, Thanks.

#testing file to be read and display error messages:

  echo="Error: Nonexistent or irregular file. "
  break
else
  echo Found
fi

if [ -r "$file" ]
then
  echo "No Reading access"
  break
else
  echo Reading Access
fi
