shell scripting problem

need to know how to answer the following problem,i have a version but im getting errors i can't seem to fix,any help will be appreciated:
iam required to list all executeable files in a specified directory.the scipt works as follows
./exexcFiles[directory][file]

if no file is specified then result is displayed to the screen.if a file is specifired the results are sent to it.errror messages are to be included also.
my version so far is:
clear
currentDir = $PWD

if [$# -gt 0 -a $# -lt 2];
then
echo "you need to enter an argument"

elif [test -d $1];
then
cd $1
touch newFile
for i in *
do
if -x $i -a -f $i
echo -e "$i"
mv "$i"/"$newfile"
done

if [$# -eq 2];
then
echo "a file name has been entered"
touch $2
mv "newFile"/"$2"
mv "$2"/"$currentDir"

RE: shell scripting problem

how about this script

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "" == "$1" -o "-?" == "$1" ]
then
  echo "usage:"
  echo "  `basename $0` dirname filename"
  exit
fi

if [ "" != "$2" ]
then
  # redirect all output to $2
  exec 2>&1 >$2
fi

for f in `find $1 -perm +111 -maxdepth 1 -type f`
do
  basename $f
done
