Question

The following script is intended to run the program “senna” on all files in a directory and write the output for each file (preserving the input file name) into another directory

for file in ./Data/in/*;
do
    ./senna -iobtags -usrtokens -posvbs -srl < $file > ./Data/out/$file    
done

On trying to execute the script, the following error arises.

-bash-4.0$ sh run.s
'un.s: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `
'un.s: line 1: `for file in ./Data/in/*;

The script has the lines of code exactly as above and there is no `. Perhaps it implies something else. Help with error resolution would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The line endings in the script are wrong. Pass it through dos2unix to eliminate the CRs.
