I'm really perplexed by the following behavior:
rfr@mad64 ~ $ cat -v foo1.sh echo 8010 > foo1.out
rfr@mad64 ~ $ cat -v foo2.sh sh foo1.sh version=`cat foo1.out` echo ${version}.bar > foo2.out cat -v foo2.out
rfr@mad64 ~ $ sh foo2.sh 8010^M.bar^M
rfr@mad64 ~ $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (textmode) c: on /c type system (textmode) z: on /z type system (textmode)
rfr@mad64 ~ $
The (real) scripts involved run on non-Windows platforms, so putting in `d2u' isn't an option. I'd rather not resort to `tr' either, since I have a large number of places to fix. Large.
The bug, IMO, is the assigment to version of `cat foo1.out` contains a ^M. I'm on a text mount, so this is counter to what I thought would happen.
Time to adjust your expectations. ;-) Text mounts write CRNL as EOLs for all files that are not explicitly opened as binary (or text for that matter). Text mounts remove the CR from EOLs read from files that are not explicitly opened as binary (or text). 'cat' explicitly opens the file as binary. If you need it to work otherwise, write a simple wrapper. Or just do the easy thing and change your mode to 'binary' and run 'd2u' on your local versions of the scripts. This is most compatible with the majority of "non-Windows" platforms. ;-)
