Hi all,
Am creating files and doing copy,compare and deletion.
As i do not want to mention the filepath everywhere, i store the filepaths in variables.

FILENAME="/home/test/create/Myfile.txt"
WR_PATH="/home/test/wrie/writefile.txt"
RD_PATH="/home/test/myread/readfile.txt"
echo "This is my new file" >> $FILENAME
cp $FILENAME $WR_PATH
cp $WR_PATH $RD_PATH
cmp $FILENAME $RD_PATH

My problem is,
The files are created inside the folders with '\r' or '\r\r' characters at the end of the filename and hence cp failed with "No such file or directory"

Observation with -x:
cp /home/test/create/Myfile.txt /home/test/wrie/writefile.txt\r
cp /home/test/wrie/writefile.txt /home/test/myread/readfile.txt\r
cp: cannot stat `/home/test/wrie/writefile.txt' :No such file or directory as there is the file writefile.txt is created as writefile.txt\r

Pls help.
Thanks,
Amio

Checkout your terminal I/O settings with stty to see if you have some strange terminal mappings.
