Hmmm - a bit surprising. Is possibly the fileformat(s) (or ff(s)) option set to "dos"?

Code:
tr -d '\r' < Input_file > Temp_Input_file
mv Temp_Input_file  Input_file

Once above is done, you could try to run above codes and let us know how it goes then.

Thanks,

Hi Ravinder,

Sorry for a late reply...ya I have tried the above quote and as I mentioned there was no use and about spaces b/w those square brackets, I tried it too but got more errors, so I restored the spaces and I believe it is the right WY to go about it as I found in numerous portals.

Anyways, appreciate your help!! Smilie

Thanks,
Subbu

On which _host_ OS?
(I am thinking of CygWin here, although IIRC 'vi' is not in the default install CygWin command layer...)

0001315

Besides, the CR character, this also shows a part of the script that is not in the sample in post #1.

Could you post the rest? I suspect the problem lies elsewhere in the script.
