There are three errors in this script. 1) There is no shebang line. 2) You've got curly quotes instead of ASCII double-quotes. 3) You used a variable expansion without enclosing it in double quotes, in a context where that matters. If you literally can't see the difference between ”/root/clamscan-report” and "/root/clamscan-report" (the former is what you have, and the latter is what it *should* be), then you need to start working with a different font.
