Ok, so your "od" or "octal dump" output looks good -
Code:
...
0001700 145 040 143 165 142 145 137 143 144 040 075 040 047 114 116 122
e c u b e _ c d = ' L N R
0001720 137 101 114 114 047 073 012 160 162 151 156 164 040 072 156 012
_ A L L ' ; \n p r i n t : n \n
...
The "047" corresponds to the character on left of "L" in "LNR..." and to the one on right of "L" in "_ALL".
Octal 047 = Decimal 39 which is the ASCII number of the single quote character. So this rules out any surprises over there.
Nevertheless, this beats me.
My best bet is that because you haven't set your shebang properly, your shell is doing something dodgy.
Do the following:
(1) Find out what shell you are using.
Code:
echo $SHELL
(2) Find out if you have Bash shell.
Code:
type bash
(3) If you have Bash shell, then use that path in the script's shebang.
(4) Otherwise, use the Bourne shell (sh) and -
(4a) add the correct path in the script's shebang
Code:
type sh
and
(4b) change the $() operator to the backtick (``) operator. That is, change this -
