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-debc
CVS-DEBC(1) General Commands Manual CVS-DEBC(1)
NAME
cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
SYNOPSIS
cvs-debc [options] [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
cvs-debc is run from the CVS working directory after cvs-buildpackage or cvs-debuild. It uses the cvs-buildpackage system to locate the
.changes file generated in that run. It then displays information about the .deb files which were generated in that run, by running dpkg-
deb -I and dpkg-deb -c on every .deb archive listed in the .changes file, assuming that all of the .deb archives live in the same directory
as the .changes file. It is useful for ensuring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.
If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names in this list of packages will be processed.
Note that unlike cvs-buildpackage, the only way to specify the source package name is with the -P option; you cannot simply have it as the
last command-line parameter.
OPTIONS
All current cvs-buildpackage options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details on all
of them, see the cvs-buildpackage(1) manpage.
-adebian-architecture, -tGNU-system-type
See dpkg-architecture(1) for a description of these options. They affect the search for the .changes file. They are provided to
mimic the behaviour of dpkg-buildpackage when determining the name of the .changes file.
-Mmodule
The name of the CVS module.
-Ppackage
The name of the package.
-Vversion
The version number of the package.
-Ttag The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
-Rroot directory
Root of the original sources archive.
-Wwork directory
The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
-xprefix
This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
--help, --version
Show help message and version information respectively.
