You hit the nail on the head !!!
The script was on my Windows machine ,I am on a network so I transferred
the file over to Linux and set the permissions.
In turn that caused the lines to have an extra character at the end of each
line (which I couldnt see) and that caused the error.
I noticed this when changing one of the lines in the script..
Now ,after taking out these characters, it works fine.
What a headache !!!
