As I said I am new to shell scripting. I have been programming
microcontrollers, bare bones with no OS for most of the past 40 years.

Shows there is not "careless editing".
So "Insufficient quoting" means nothing to me. How should it be? I was taking
the example from a shell script I found.
So I added quoting on the echo:
#!/bin/bash
echo "$PWD"
project_root=$PWD
echo "$project_root"
x=${project_root}/tools
echo "$x"
echo "${x}" | cat -A
dalkmora@DALM0048 ~/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
$ ./testconvert1.sh
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/toolsdalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut^M/tools^M$
No difference.
So maybe in the commands?
#!/bin/bash
echo "$PWD"
project_root="$PWD"
echo "$project_root"
x="${project_root}"/tools
echo "$x"
echo "${x}" | cat -A
dalkmora@DALM0048 ~/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
$ ./testconvert1.sh
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/toolsdalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut^M/tools^M$
Again no difference.
So finally I looked up d2u
dalkmora@DALM0048 ~/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
$ d2u testconvert1.sh
dos2unix: converting file testconvert1.sh to Unix format...
dalkmora@DALM0048 ~/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
$ ./testconvert1.sh
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut/tools
/home/dalkmora/walnut/dp2b_walnut_customer_flextronics/walnut/tools$
That fixed it, but I still do not understand it.
Why are there ^M (carriage return) in the middle of a line? I can understand
the confusion at the end of the line. But there was none shown in the middle
from od command.

Insufficient quoting. This does not do the right thing if $PWD contains
spaces. But not necessarily related to your problem at hand.

Again, insufficient quoting.

And again.

The carriage returns are likely a product of you editing the file in
text mode (Windows notepad is notorious for this, but many other native
programs do likewise), but trying to execute the script in binary mode
(the default, if you do not use 'set -o igncr').

d2u /path/to/your/script
to remove all the carriage returns from your careless editing. Once they
are gone, then you don't need the 'igncr' crutch to tell bash to go into
text mode.
