By default, bash only sees newline characters as the EOL markers. The carriage return character of the Windows line ending is treated the same as any other character on the command line, so it becomes part of the command. In this case, it is appended to the value of the environment variable. Setting the SHELLOPT environment variable *in Windows* to igncr will make bash behave as you expect. Having the script on a text mount will also work. The generally considered best way is to ensure that the script simply has Unix line endings. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
