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)

rancid-cvs
rancid-cvs(1) General Commands Manual rancid-cvs(1)
NAME
rancid-cvs - initialize CVS or Subversion and rancid group files and directories
SYNOPSIS
rancid-cvs [-V] [group [group ...]]
DESCRIPTION
rancid-cvs creates the directories and router.db(5) for each rancid group and handles the revision control system (CVS or Subversion) set-
up. It must be run after installation and whenever a rancid group is added.
rancid-cvs reads rancid.conf(5) to configure itself, then proceeds with the initialization. First of the CVS or Subversion repository, if
necessary, and then for each of the rancid groups listed on the command-line or those in the variable LIST_OF_GROUPS from rancid.conf(5),
if the argument is omitted.
Running rancid-cvs for groups which already exist will not cause problems. If the group's directory already exists, the import into the
revision control system will be skipped, and if it's router.db(5) already exists, it will not be altered.
The command-line options are as follows:
-V Prints package name and version strings.
The best method for adding groups is add the group name to LIST_OF_GROUPS in rancid.conf(5), then run rancid-cvs. Do not create the
directories manually, allow rancid-cvs to do it.
