There are is no line containing << so I think that we are looking for a corrupt script.
Please re-post the script after examining it with this sed command which makes control codes visible:
Code:
sed -n l scriptname

A normal unix/Linux line terminator will show as a dollar sign.

Please post what Operating System and version you are running.


Ps: I can't follow the logic or reasoning behind the code, but I don't like the look of this line:
Code:
for EACH in `echo $TEXT | tr "," "\n" | tr ")" "\n" | tr "#" "\n"| tr  "'" "\n"| tr "." "\n"| tr "&" "\n"| tr "(" "\n"| tr "!" "\n"| tr "%"  "\n"| tr "$" "\n"| tr "+" "\n"| tr "-" "\n"| tr "/" "\n"| tr "*" "\n"|  tr "@" "\n"| tr "^" "\n"| tr "\"" "\n"`

Ignoring quote a lot of the code, why no double quotes round $TEXT if it can contain Shell Special Characters? Try putting double-quotes round every string variable in this script. What in words is the line intended to do? The tr commands can be condensed into a single tr command enclosed in single quotes (to stop the Shell reacting to Shell Special Characters).
Something like (untested):
Code:
for EACH in `echo "${TEXT}"|tr ',)#".&(!%$+-/*@^\' '\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n'`

Ps. In my experience it is better to test for the valid characters than to try to eliminate the invalid characters.

ASCII-XFR(1)							Linux Users Manual						      ASCII-XFR(1)

NAME
ascii-xfr - upload/download files using the ASCII protocol SYNOPSIS
ascii-xfr -s|-r [-ednv] [-l linedelay] [-c characterdelay] filename DESCRIPTION
Ascii-xfr Transfers files in ASCII mode. This means no flow control, no checksumming and no file-name negotiation. It should only be used if the remote system doesn't understand anything else. The ASCII protocol transfers files line-by-line. The EOL (End-Of-Line) character is transmitted as CRLF. When receiving, the CR character is stripped from the incoming file. The Control-Z (ASCII 26) character signals End-Of-File, if option -e is specified (unless you change it to Cotrol-D (ASCII 4) with -d). Ascii-xfr reads from stdin when receiving, and sends data on stdout when sending. Some form of input or output redirection to the modem device is thus needed when downloading or uploading, respectively. OPTIONS
-s Send a file. -r Receive a file. One of -s or -r must be present. -e Send the End-Of-File character (Control-Z, ASCII 26 by default) when uploading has finished. -d Use the Control-D (ASCII 4) as End-Of-File character. -n Do not translate CR to CRLF and vice versa. -v Verbose: show tranfer statistics on the stderr output. -l milliseconds When transmitting, pause for this delay after each line. -c milliseconds When transmitting, pause for this delay after each character. file Name of the file to send or receive. When receiving, any existing file by this name will be truncated. USAGE WITH MINICOM
If you want to call this program from minicom(1), start minicom and go to the Options menu. Select File transfer protocols. Add the fol- lowing lines, for example as protocols I and J. I Ascii /usr/bin/ascii-xfr -sv Y U N Y J Ascii /usr/bin/ascii-xfr -rv Y D N Y AUTHOR
