What are you using for an editor?  Try it with vi, nedit or emacs.
Sounds like you've got DOS new-line characters on each line.

Subject: Simple shell script not working


This is the 2-line shell script I'm trying to run:


#! /bin/sh

touch test.txt


The privledges are set to 777

I get the error output line:  " bash: $'\r': command not found "
for each command I put in the script, including cd, touch, ls, etc.
Echo is
the only one that works for some reason.  Anybody have any ideas on how
to
fix this?
