Not to me:
Code:
us99:/export/home/vbe $ bash -version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris2.10)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
us99:/export/home/vbe $ for n in {1..10}
> do
 $n % 2 ))
> out=$(( $n % 2 ))
> if [ $out -eq 0 ]
> then
> echo "$n is even number"

fi
done> else
> echo "$n is ODD number"
> fi
> done
1 is ODD number
2 is even number
3 is ODD number
4 is even number
5 is ODD number
6 is even number
7 is ODD number
8 is even number
9 is ODD number
10 is even number
us99:/export/home/vbe $ x=1
us99:/export/home/vbe $ while [ $x -le 5 ]
> do
> echo "Welcome $x times"
> x=$(( $x + 1 ))
> done
Welcome 1 times
Welcome 2 times
Welcome 3 times
Welcome 4 times
Welcome 5 times
us99:/export/home/vbe $ COUNTER=20
us99:/export/home/vbe $ until [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]
> do
> echo COUNTER $COUNTER
> let COUNTER-=1
> done
COUNTER 20
COUNTER 19
COUNTER 18
COUNTER 17
COUNTER 16
COUNTER 15
COUNTER 14
COUNTER 13
COUNTER 12
COUNTER 11
COUNTER 10

Have again a look at another shell you could use... the one you have is weird...

Hmm, was the script edited on a Windows platform?

For one of the small scripts, please post the output from this sed enquiry which is designed to make MSDOS carriage-return characters visible:

For example:
Code:
sed -n l test2.prog

Yes all these scripts are written in notepad on PC and then moved to unix directory via WInSCP. Here is the output and I can see \r$ after every line. It may be the culprit. Could you advise how to remove it?

Code:
x=1\r$
while [ $x -le 5 ]\r$
do\r$
  echo "Welcome $x times"\r$
  x=$(( $x + 1 ))\r$
done$

Thanks you for pointing out for MSDOS carriage-return characters issue.Infact this was the issue.I have fixed file for dos carriage-return by using this and it worked.

Code:
awk '{ sub("\r$", ""); print }' sourcefile > desctinationfile

Thanks a lot to both of you to point me in right direction.
