RE: bash fails to redirect inside script

["Tas van Ommen" <tas dot van dot ommen at utas dot edu dot au>]

Thanks Corinna, but this gives me problems.

This was not a problem in b20.1  I am setting up machines for novice users
to use the gmt package.  They need to be able to make simple modifications
to bash scripts and will most likely use dos/windows editing tools that they
are familiar with.  I do not want to impose upon them the requirement to do
a dos2unix translation (after all cygwin is all about mixed environments).

Is there any chance bash can be altered to accept \r\n lineendings like sh
does.  If so, I would greatly appreciate someone building a bash.exe for me.

If you have any other advice I would welcome it.  Also, do you have a
compiled dos2unix or equivalent?

Thanks,

Tas

Your script has DOS line endings but the script is
on a binary mounted file system. You should change
the \r\n line endings to the U*X style \n and your
script should work.
