Error parsing parameter

[Baskaran164]

while executing this

aws ec2 describe-tags --filters "Name=resource-id","Values=$INSTANCE_ID" > ec2_tags
    TAG_LINE=$(grep -n "EC2KeyName" "ec2_tags" | cut -d':' -f1)

Error parsing parameter '--filters': Expected: ',', received: '"' for input:
Name=resource-id,Values=Please login as the user "ec2-user" rather than the user "root".

Looks like your $INSTANCE_ID parameter isn't getting set right, it's being passed in as Please login as the user "ec2-user" rather than the user "root" which is breaking the parser as you have non-encapsulated string values. Though I'm fairly certain you don't want that value for $INSTANCE_ID, you could make it work by encapsulating the value with single quotes like so: aws ec2 describe-tags --filters "Name=resource-id","Values='$INSTANCE_ID'"
