Unexpected end of file in bash file

When running a bash script i get the following error:

./hi.sh: line 19: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Here is my code:

#!/bin/bash

#Remove unauthorized users

for line in ./unauthorized_users.txt; do

sudo userdel $line -y

sudo rm -rf "/home/$line" -y


#Remove unauthorized packages

for line in ./bad_packs.txt; do

sudo apt-get remove $line -y

sudo apt-get purge $line -y

Please advise me on what to do.

You are not closing your for loop with done. Check manual for looping constructs' syntax:

for bar in 1 2 3; do
   echo "$bar"
done

Also note that your code won't iterate over lines of the file ./unauthorized_users.txt. To read lines from a file, use while loop instead :

while IFS= read -r line; do
   echo "$line"
done < your_file

Both 'for' loops need closing 'done's

for line in file; do
    echo "$line" # do some stuff
done

Other bash constructs (if, case, etc.) need closing statements as well
