Simple shell script not working

[zip184]

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?

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.

Reason you have edited some file with the wrong editor
run d2u on .bashrc .bash_profile

Also, it looks like you have to run das2unix on the script... " touch
foo.txt\r " is proboably what bash is running.
