The first line sends an e-mail with the text from input.empty (presumably nothing) and a path in the subject to the local address or alias 'sorting7'. The second line appends the date and time and path as a new line at the end of a comma seperated file. The third line is the closing part of an 'if' statement so you should find a corresponding 'if' line somewhere above.

The only bit that is really script syntax is the 'fi'. The other two are just standard shell commands with redirects for file operations.
