Question

I am trying to share a folder on a windows computer with the raspberry pi.

when I use these commands in terminal:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/foldername
sudo mount -t cifs //IPADDRESS/folderIwanttoaccess/ -o username=usrname,password=passwrd /mnt/foldername

This works fine and I am able to save files on the raspberry pi to the windows shared folder.

but when I try this in a shell script I am able to see the folder as shared but with “^m” at the end.

for example: Foldername^M

Why does this happen and is there a way around to stop the “^m”?

Thanks in advance

According to this, you can sort your problem using sed, merely by using the following incantation: s/^M$//. Hope that helped!
