'\r': command not found [duplicate]

Answer 1

It seems that you have Windows style line endings (\r\n) - you need to change them to unix style (\n). If you have dos2unix installed you could use it. You could also do it using sed or awk.

Answer 2

Its End of Line(EOL) conversion issue when script is written in windows using some editors like notepad, notepad++(tested).

Sed , tr may solve the issue in case of you just need to run script, however if you are developing shell script its become annoying each time first convert using, sed/tr command then run your script.

Notepad++ has an option to convert END OF LINE CONVERSION(EOL). How to do that: go to Edit > EOL Conversion > select Unix/OSX

Here you go, save script file and run it.

Answer 3

The error happens, because shell doesn't understand DOS/Windows-like line endings and it expects LF instead of CRLF.

You'll need to first configure your editor to use Unix-like line endings or use dos2unix command to change it automatically, e.g.

dos2unix ./NetworkUtility.sh
