Re: problem with batch files.

1) Mount you directories as text=binary.
2) Remove the \r from the line terminator in your batch file.

You have to remount your partitions in binary mode and change your scripts
from DOS to Unix style line breaks.

problem with batch files.

[Olivier Cuisenaire]

When I try to this very simple file (named coco):

#!/bin/sh
#
ls
echo hello

I receive, after the result of the ls command, the following error:

coco: o: command not found

The problem being that it seems to delete the first three characters of the
last line leaving only "o hello". This diagnosis is confirmed by the fact
inserting any three characters at the beginning of this line will solve the
problem, while inserting one or two characters give the errors "ho: command
not found" and "cho: command not found" respectively.

This is very discturbing when using more complex batch files (I actually
would like to use the configure file to install lesstif)

Is this a known bug for which a patch exists ? (I'm currently using
sh-2.01, sergey's patch)

Thanks.

Olivier

Re: problem with batch files.

Make certain that your file doesn't contain the \r\n combination.  It 
should only contain the \n combination.  Also, your mounts need to be 
text=binary.  Look at the mail archives for all kinds of banter on this 
subject.

problem with batch files.

[Olivier Cuisenaire]

When I try to this very simple file (named coco):

#!/bin/sh
#
ls
echo hello

I receive, after the result of the ls command, the following error:

coco: o: command not found

The problem being that it seems to delete the first three characters of the
last line leaving only "o hello". This diagnosis is confirmed by the fact
inserting any three characters at the beginning of this line will solve the
problem, while inserting one or two characters give the errors "ho: command
not found" and "cho: command not found" respectively.

This is very discturbing when using more complex batch files (I actually
would like to use the configure file to install lesstif)

Is this a known bug for which a patch exists ? (I'm currently using
sh-2.01, sergey's patch)

Thanks.
