If all else fails, try putting # signs on the end of each line... then
the ^M will be comments :-)

Amos, thanks

I re-created and retyped all 3 lines, actually, pasted one line at a time.
(more than once...)
I guess I can also run 'dos2unix' to strip the CRs

I'll recheck/redo the two or three scripts that I've made

thanks for all the tips and help

I don't see the ^M's that I was expecting. Is this file cleaned and working?
Perhaps "cat" in Cygwin requires an additional option to show ^M's?

BTW, in addition to the rest that was said, "cat -tve" is very useful in
troubleshooting such issues.

Re: [SLUG] cygwin script file name error

[kfoskey]

notepad and write all use CR LF line ends. Have a look at Notepad++ and 
check for unix line endings or LF.


There is also an options somewhere to use CRLF line ends in cygwin,  never 
used it but remember it from install years ago...

Cygwin has two modes Unix line ends and Windows line ends.The ? is
actually a \r

In 'vi'   ':set ff=unix'':wq'  to switch line endings.

if there is a \r showing go to it and press 'x' to delete it.


If I type in notepad? or in write? can I then copy and paste into vi?
Our will that cause problem?

Thanks, I'll try that later.
(I might have used win write at some point, which probably is the root cause of 
my woes)

I've made a crude script under cygwin/XP, it was mainly working, but,
after some edits, I'm getting a '?' appended to file name ?
as so:
sms_out_now.txt?

when I paste individual lines at command line, it seems to work, when I
run from the 3 line script, it seems to append the '?'
where am I going wrong, I'm trying to copy small file, then, put current
time/date:

the problem (I think?) arose after I added 'date >>' part
