sed in script creates output file ending with '?' (^M)
Hi,
I'm trying to use sed within a shell script (bash, running ubuntu). The command works fine from the command line, but when I use it within the script, rather than creating a file with the name I've specified, it creates one that ends with a question mark '?' when you use ls, e.g. outfile.cvs? and with '^M' when completing the name with tab, e.g. outfile.cvs^M
Here is my sed command:
sed 's/","/";"/g' infile.cvs >outfile.cvs
Because I then call the outfile for the next step in my script, this is a problem. The file itself looks fine.
Thanks for any help.

Hi I want to use sed to find words ending in a pattern and then have it delete these words. Not sure if there is a better command to do this. I was thinking of a find and replace but I'm not sure of the syntax to look for a word ending with this pattern and not sure how to replace the whole word. (2 Replies)

cvs-debuild
CVS-DEBUILD(1) General Commands Manual CVS-DEBUILD(1)
NAME
cvs-debuild - build a Debian package using cvs-buildpackage and debuild
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debuild [debuild options] [cvs-buildpackage options] [--lintian-opts lintian options]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debuild is a wrapper around cvs-buildpackage to run it with debuild as the package-building program. (This cannot simply be accom-
plished using the -C option of cvs-buildpackage, as it does not know how to handle all of the special debuild options.)
The program simply stashes the debuild and lintian options, and passes them to debuild when it is called by cvs-buildpackage. All of the
standard debuild options may be used (as listed below), but note that the root command specified by any --rootcmd or -r command-line option
will be passed as an option to cvs-buildpackage. The first non-debuild option detected will signal the start of the cvs-buildpackage
options.
The selection of the root command is slightly subtle: if there are any command-line options, these will be used. If not, then if cvs-
buildpackage is set up to use a default root command, that will be used. Finally, if neither of these are the case, then debuild will use
its procedures to determine an appropriate command, as described in its documentation.
See the manpages for debuild(1) and cvs-buildpackage for more information about the behaviour of each.
OPTIONS
The following are the debuild options recognised by cvs-debuild. All cvs-buildpackage and lintian options are simply passed to the appro-
priate program. For explanations of the meanings of these variables, see debuild(1).
--no-conf, --noconf
--rootcmd=gain-root-command, -rgain-root-command
--preserve-env
--preserve-envvar=var, -evar
--set-envvar=var=value, -evar=value
--lintian, --no-lintian
--ignore-dirname, --check-dirname
These should not be needed, but it is provided nevertheless.
