just use emacs from now on. it puts a big shiny 'DOS' in the status line
when you edit a file with \n\r instead of \n. ;-)

You probably could've run dos2unix on the script to fix the line endings,
rather than rewriting it. But that doesn't matter now

I think vim does too. But I was like "oh, yeah DOS. cool". Aaannnnd carry on
regardless ...

Cordially,

Thanks for the tip. Given the amount of times I've looked at the script, I
know it off by heart now. Unfortunately.

Cordially,

Kleeb.

Well, it's just a CR. It should ignore that, shouldn't it?

This looks like it may be the winner.. Try this:


#!/bin/sh
/bin/date
echo -e "\nHere is the table of all the syndicate numbers ...\n"
/bin/cat -n "/home/foo/lottery.txt"
echo -e "\nWinning numbers :\n"
/bin/cat "/home/foo/winhope.txt"
echo -e "\nMatching lines :\n"
/bin/grep -nof "/home/foo/winhope.txt" "/home/foo/lottery.txt"


From what I can see, it might taking the '.' as something other than
part of the name of the file. Maybe enough quotes will fix it up?

Also, to keep from having to do a 'sh lot' on this to run it, you should
be able to do a 'chmod +x lot' and then only have to type in './lot'

And, being rather obvious here, but /home/foo/*.txt does have the proper
permissions for the remotely logged in user, right? (you never know.. I've
missed much easier stuff) :P

I tried it both ways through putty and both times it worked just fine...
