Bash on CygWin
I am using CygWin to run a bash file but I am getting weird results.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir CLEANDATA
mv *FASTA CLEANDATA
cd CLEANDATA
ls
echo "COMPLETE"

And this is what I get
Code:
$ ./Pipe.txt
./Pipe.txt: line 5: $'ls\r': command not found
COMPLETE

Moreover, the new folder is named CLEANDATA* instead of CLEANDATA.
Any help will be very much appreciated

You edited the command script with a windows editor. Bad. UNIX uses \n for carriage control, windows uses \r\n. File with \r\n break command scripts as you now see.

Run the script file through the dos2unix command:
Code:
dos2unix script.shl script.shl  
chmod +x script.shl
