Hi Corona , so how can i get rid of what windows is adding (as in my code i dont see this ^M ) ...
Windows didn't add the <carriage-return> characters (i.e. control-M, frequently displayed by some utilities when using some options as ^M); you added those characters by choosing to use a WYSIWYG editor while it was configured to produce DOS style text files.
In post #8 in this thread, bakunin told you exactly what needs to be done and gave you three ways to do it. You replied "i tried and not work" which tells us absolutely nothing. What, EXACTLY, did you try? In what way, EXACTLY, did it not work? If one of the commands you tried produced a diagnostic message, show us EXACTLY what command you tried (in CODE tags) and show us EXACTLY the diagnostic messages produced by the command you tried (in CODE tags).
i saw post 8 and i tried, in post 9 i mentioned that i don't know how to use the command to solve the problem that was suggested in post 8 , i mentioned as well my file location so i wish if you can help how to use the solution suggested in post 8 as i am new and dont know how to use it,...thanks for your support.

Sigh....
Told you what was wrong with your script file. You mentioned that you wrote your script (see post #1) and then did:
Quote:
running the script i get below error :
So you have a file named "hello" which contains your script, no? Now, in this file there are erroneous end-of-line markers, because you posted this (#7)
It is now perhaps a 1-million-dollar, who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire, extremely hard to find out type of guess which file i meant to process when i told (#8) you to use:
(hint, because otherwise it would be unsolvable by mere humans: its the only one we talked about the whole time. Try three times and i'll tell you the answer.)
And,after this Nobel-prize-worthy puzzle, guess what i meant by the file name /path/to/dosstyle.file and, respectively, by the file name /path/to/unixstyle.file. Have you even tried to understand what i wrote about or did you just look at the command, didn't understand it immediately and said "didn't work"? What exactly "didn't work"? Or is that just an euphemism for "i couldn't be bothered to even try"?

Good morning,
I am 100% mew to Unix and am trying to troubleshoot why a pgm written 3 years ago, suddenly is not working properly. It is part Perl with some UNIX commands thrown in. I need to verify what the UNIX commands are doing before I can continue with my other troubleshooting.
