Sometime on Jan 21, Ankit Jain assembled some asciibets to say:

Did you convert the script to unix format?  messdos has this stupid
notion that an end of line must be signalled with two characters - \r\n.
Why the \r, nobody knows - hey since when have electronic consoles had
carriages to return?

Two/Three options.

1. use dos2unix
2. open file in pico, do Ctrl+O, do Ctrl+X
3. cat file.txt | sed -e 's/\r//g' > file2.txt

pick one, use it.
