Thanks but the script worked in the ksh etc

The script worked in true unix shells. I have a copy of my script untouched by DOS and it has the same problem. I understand the CR/LF problem maybe the true unix shells deal with CR/LF wheras bash does not. Is vim some sort of bastardized version of vi?

bash is interpetting the line breaks as a directory\r "\r" is appended to the to the destination file name. Why does it not "Ralph" on the echo staments?

I think it best to not use bash if real shells are available IMHO so I prefer not to force a real shell to use bash.

I guess my work around is to insert # before the CR. that would be compatible with any shell even bash.

I hate to bash bash since I downloaded it for free but I don't think it is as good as real unix shells.

The awk commands work as proven by command line execution using bash and previous scripts run in the korn shell.

In a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) script
Code:
 
touch Apple

results in
touch: cannot touch `Apple\r': No such file or directory

Code:
echo me thinks bash is not so good

result
me thinks bash is not so good(nonprinting characters)Smilie

NAME
git-shell - Restricted login shell for Git-only SSH access SYNOPSIS
chsh -s $(command -v git-shell) <user> git clone <user>@localhost:/path/to/repo.git ssh <user>@localhost DESCRIPTION
This is a login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. It permits execution only of server-side Git commands implementing the pull/push functionality, plus custom commands present in a subdirectory named git-shell-commands in the user's home directory. COMMANDS
git shell accepts the following commands after the -c option: git receive-pack <argument>, git upload-pack <argument>, git upload-archive <argument> Call the corresponding server-side command to support the client's git push, git fetch, or git archive --remote request. cvs server Imitate a CVS server. See git-cvsserver(1). If a ~/git-shell-commands directory is present, git shell will also handle other, custom commands by running "git-shell-commands/<command> <arguments>" from the user's home directory. INTERACTIVE USE
By default, the commands above can be executed only with the -c option; the shell is not interactive. If a ~/git-shell-commands directory is present, git shell can also be run interactively (with no arguments). If a help command is present in the git-shell-commands directory, it is run to provide the user with an overview of allowed actions. Then a "git> " prompt is presented at which one can enter any of the commands from the git-shell-commands directory, or exit to close the connection. Generally this mode is used as an administrative interface to allow users to list repositories they have access to, create, delete, or rename repositories, or change repository descriptions and permissions. If a no-interactive-login command exists, then it is run and the interactive shell is aborted. EXAMPLE
To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting instead: + $ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell $ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands $ cat >$HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login <<EOF #!/bin/sh printf '%s ' "Hi $USER! You've successfully authenticated, but I do not" printf '%s ' "provide interactive shell access." exit 128 EOF $ chmod +x $HOME/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login SEE ALSO
