I am getting error:
'for reading <No such file or directory> 'o.txt

But, I am working in the same directory where all files are there.

Also, if I include the comments in the end of script using #, then also I get errors:
'for reading <No such file or directory> 'o.txt
split4.sh: : line 45: $'\r': command not found

line 45 (line where comments start)
From the looks of the error message (note the single quote at the start of the line that seems like it should be at the end of the file name), it looks like you ended up with a <carriage-return> character at the end of "o.txt" in the last line of split4.sh and it is trying to open a file with the name <o><period><t><x><t><carriage-return>. To verify this try running the command:
Code:
od -c split4

and look for a \r before the \nthat should be at the end of the file. This suspicion is supported by the later error saying that the command $'\r' can't be found.

If you find one or more occurrences of \r in the output from od, run the commands:
Code:
cp split4.sh _split4.sh
tr -d '\r' < _split4.sh > split4.sh

and then try running split4 again.
