  • 0

i have a bash script I edit on windows using UltraEdit and save as UTF-8 No BOM, using Unix Line Terminator style, as specified in the “save as” dialog box in UE.

I then upload it to a centos 5 x86 machine running parallels virtuozzo, and everytime, no matter how i upload it (FTP as binary file, or via parallels management console), the script wont work. When i view the script via parallels management console i see that the LAST, and ONLY the last line, has a weird character in it. If i remove the line terminator from the last line (let the script end at the last printable character) everything works fine.

My questions:

A) why is only the LAST line terminator causing problems?

B) how do i avoid this in the future?

thanks!

    I used CTRL-H on Ultraedit, which displays the same output as unix’s XXD command, and I see the 0D 0A in there, though the file is set to use UNIX line terminators. this is an Ultraedit problem. Im using v 13.20a.

    I am new to stackoverflow. should i open a new question or re-tag this one?

    thanks to all
