Hi,
There is a shell script(bourne)
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
set -x
export _flag1=YES
echo '_FLAG is set to -> ' $_flag1 |
But it comes with the below error - 'not a valid identifier `
| Code: |
$ sh test2.sh
+ export _flag1=YES $'\r'
+ _flag1=YES
': not a valid identifier `
+ echo '_FLAG is set to -> ' YES
_FLAG is set to -> YES |
I know little unix but a noob in scripting. Could you please let me know the reason for this error.
Thanks & Regards, |

Hello,
After a few hours of searching the web, I was able to spot my mistake. 
The script was created on windows and FTP'ed to Unix, the carriage return \r from windows was causing the problem. |
