Shell Programming and Scripting

gzip, zip, Z, ... more usable.

SunOS include usually also xpg4 version, try it.
ex. /xpg4/bin/awk
There are many commands in SunOS which works little different as ex. xpg4/posix version or gnu version.
Same situation with some other commercial *nix.
find / -name awk
and you'll see the all location where you have awk.
(or maybe nawk, gawk, ...).

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
AWK=/xpg4/bin/awk

somefunc()
{
    $AWK ....
}
#....
somefunc
# ....

Just as suspected, notice the "\r":

Code:

od -c -N20 Daily_Finance.sh
0000000   #   !   /   u   s   r   /   b   i   n   /   b   a   s   h  \r
0000020  \n   #   #   #

Dear binlib,

Could you please explain more?

binlib has notice that your script appears to contain MSDOS line terminators not unix line terminators. This often happens when a script is edited on a PC in a product such as Notepad and then transferred to a unix system without proper conversion. It could equally happen when preparing a post for this forum!

Worth checking the script. To see the line terminators. This unix command makes them visible. A normal unix text line just shows as a $ sign in this program.

Code:

sed -n l script_name

Dear methyl,

I checked the output of the sed command you send and I didn't find any MS-DOS caracters, also i ran the following line

tr '^M' < Daily_Finance.sh > Daily_Finance2.sh

but the same problem still exist.

Thanks,

Dears,

Any suggestions?
