| + | If you have copied any text files or text strings from a Windows PC, then you might find that there are still special characters in this file that stop you executing it as a script on a linux computer. These special characters are typically carriage returns and line feeds. | ||

| + | Below is a file that I copied from Windows to a CentOS linux server, it dind't matter if I copied the file, or did a copy/paste, the issue still arose. After each line you can see a <color # | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | When you edit the file in vi, you can't see these special characters, you have use another switch with vi to show them. Run vi using a <color # | ||

| + | You can remove these special characters in Linux using a variety of methods, here are two. | ||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | 1. In vi, just delete the ^M characters and save the file. | ||
| + | | ||
| + | 2. Install dos2unix (yum install dos2unix) and execute this on your file (dos2unix filename) | ||
| + | and it will remove them for you, handy if it is a big file. | ||
