BASH .. what am I doing wrong?

[severndigital]

I can't get this simple bash script to work .. can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong?

 

LIST=$(ls "$1")

for item in ${LIST[@]}
  do
   if[ -d $1$item ] then
      echo "$1$item is a directory"
   else
     echo "$1$item is NOT a directory" 
   fi
done

 

if I replace the if statment with just an echo $1$item, it returns the correct value.

 

but when I run this script I get this ..

dir_mon_notify.sh: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'

dir_mon_notify.sh: line 16: `  fi'

 

no matter what I do, I can't get it to work .. any help would be great.
