Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting calling dos2unix on shell script from within the script Post 68895 by vino on Friday 8th of April 2005 03:38:29 AM

I have a build script. If dos2unix is not carried out on that script, then you get the errors that I had displayed.

I am trying to call dos2unix on the calling script. i.e. the one denoted by $0.

$1 refers to the first argument. No, I am not calling dos2unix on the first argument. Rather on the script which issued the dos2unix.

The following environment variables affect the execution of dos2unix: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used. FILES
