I would say your "files" variable has a CTRL-M at the end of it. Perhaps you have txt files in DOS format from where this variable name has been read?

Code:
$ files="UserRightAssignment.txt^M"
$ grep test "$files"
: No such file or directoryxt

Hi
Hi,

I have tried converting the file from dos2unix using cygwin and append and ^M towards the end of the files but both ways does not work.

Hello alvinoo,

To confirm about ^M characters in a file could you please use following command.
Code:
 cat -v Input_file

Now if above command gives you positive results about file having ^M characters, then you can try following command too.
Code:
 tr -d '\r' < Input_file >Output_file

Hope this helps.


Thanks,
R. Singh
