This code doesnt work properly, it gives an error about the two variables, i am using bash in Linux mint 10(32bit), every time i try declare variables COLOR and VALUE i get an error that says "Command not found:

#!/bin/bash

COLOR = "Black"
VALUE = "9"

printf "Hi, "$USER

printf "\nlist of connected users: \n"
w
printf "This is a string: " $COLOR
printf "\nAnd this is a number: " $VALUE
printf "\n"

printf "\nScript finished\n"

you need to remove the spaces

COLOR="Black"

Ah yes, variable assignment is done with no spaces, variable comparison is done with spaces.
