Do not precede a variable with '$' on the left-hand side of an assignment.
if [$tmp -ne $comma]; # if tmp is not a , then
You need spaces around '[' and ']'
then
$getdate=${line:0:9}
$theday=`date +%A -d $getdate`
See above.
$theLine=$theday "-" $thecount "," ${line:10:20}
See above, and you need to quote the entire assignment if it
contains spaces, not the individual elements.
else
$theLine=$line
See above.
fi
echo $theLine >> testoutput.txt
done < testtides.csv
exit
