Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting something is causing this script to break early on Post 302437564 by methyl on Thursday 15th of July 2010 11:06:30 AM

The script is riddled with carriage-return characters which are showing up as "\r". This usually comes from editing a script on a Microsoft platform then copying in the script using binary ftp rather than text ftp.
The line terminator in Microsoft text files is "carriage-return linefeed" whereas in unix text files it is just "linefeed". The suplus carriage-return characters are being treated as part of the command - hence the errors.
It is usually easier to re-transfer the file than to fix it, though there are many standard quick fixes depending on what Operating System you have.

ELZA(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   ELZA(1)

NAME
elza -- script language for automating HTTP requests SYNOPSIS
elza [scriptfile] DESCRIPTION
The elza is a scripting language aimed at automating requests on web pages. Scripts written in elza are capable of mimicking browser behavior almost perfectly, making it extremely difficult for remote servers to distinguish their activity from the activity generated by ordinary users and browsers. This gives those scripts the opportunity to act upon servers that will not respond to requests generated using netcat, gammaprog, rebol, or similar tool. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. OPTIONS
scriptfile The name and location of your script to be executed by elza. Variables are specified either in the .elz script, or in elza.def AUTHOR
