Bash script - \r: command not found

pasta_paul

I wrote script in bash but I have problem when I try run it by terminal. I tried on Ubuntu and Debian. For example, this is bash script: #!/bin/bash clear when I run it by this commands: bash name.sh or . name.sh I got that error bash: $'clear\r: command not found in my script I have that for every line.

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

" \r " is how bash prints the Carriage Return character. (" ^M , 0x0B ) that some other systems use as part of their End-of-Line marker (" ^M^J ", Carriage Return, followed by LineFeed). Linux uses only "^J" (LineFeed) at End-of-line. One way of clearing out the " \r " characters is through dos2unix , in the package of the same name. Another way is: tr -d "\r" <name.sh >a.tmp mv a.tmp name.sh
