.bashrc and.bash_profile missing

.bashrc and.bash_profile missing

[Ballaw]

I have used cygwin for Netbeans for about 6 months and today when I open the
shell I get:
bash: $'\r': command not found
after which the usual promt was missing and -> appeared instead.
I opened up cygwin.bat in notpad++ and changed the path to
home/user/cygdrive and it said it couldn't find the file but it jerked back
to the usual prompt so I was able to look inside my home/user/ directory.
After using ls -a it showed that this directory was completely empty, no
.bashrc, no .bash_profile. I'm fairly new to this so I don't know why this
is happening? ANy help would be appreciated!

In the past, when I get the error "'\r': command not found" from bash
in Cygwin, the cause has always been that the shell script file has
been inadvertently converted to the DOS format.
