[Solved] My script executes poorly as a text file.
Hello again,
I have put together a shell script using sed and some shell commands, and it runs pretty well when I am in terminal, but when I save it as a text file and invoke it through the terminal by typing its path, all I get are errors.
Can some one give me some hints as to what I am doing wrong?
I have included the script, it is about 40 lines and saves three files off as temp files to retrieve some data that's in them later. At the very end it saves a shell command and executes it to clean up the directories of all the temp files. It seems to run fine when I am in the shell itself but whenever I invoke it by typing its path all I get are errors.
Can any one tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks for all your help.

And, exactly what errors do you get when you run this as a script?

What operating system are you using (and what version of that OS)?

What shell are you using?
# 3  
Old 03-07-2014
Hi, the errors I get are all "file not found". I am on a mac runnning osx 10.7.5 and I'm using the bash shell. Does that help?
# 4  
Old 03-08-2014
Please show us the exact command line you use to invoke your script and the exact diagnostics it produces (and any output sent to standard output). (Show us the actual output, not a characterization of the output!)

Are the errors you're seeing coming directly from this script? Or, are they coming from the scripts this script is creating and running?
# 5  
Old 03-08-2014
Hi again, yes some errors are from the initial script, thsoe are al saying the there is no such directory, some are from the scripts that it is invoking they are saying command not found.
I have included the errror messages from I get whenever I try running this by typing the path at the command line.
I running this script over the network to rename a file and its directory to reflect the contents of the file, could this be a permissions issue?
thank you very much

One thing that immediately jumps to my eyes is the \r closing the filename. I guess you created your script with a windows editor which has \r\ns as the line separator.
Try removing the \rs (with tr, sed, dos2unix) and rerun the script.
# 7  
Old 03-08-2014
Hi again, I was wondering if you know of any commands off hand that I could I run with the tr, or bsd sed that could replace the \r at the end of line?
I have been trying various solutions but without much luck.
Just as a passing interest, the script is created by a windows machine automatically from some data I'm feeding into it, not by a text editor at all. Any assistance you can give on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again
