The variable is valued using the following statement read _PRINTQ _PRTENBL _PRTURI _PRTDESC _BLDING _LOCDESC _PPDLOC _PAGESIZE
The \r is not apart of the file being read. The file read has 8 fields and PAGESIZE is the last one. It seems to be that \r is a part of the carriage return / line-feed. As a work around, I appended another field to each record and I don't see the \r when I debug the script. It is now working as expected. Does this make sense? Also, if I simply echo $_PAGESIZE is does not display the \r -----Original Message----- From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 10:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bash script question It's not that \r was appended to the if clause, it is that the value of the _PAGESIZE variable is: 'NONE\r' as opposed to this: NONE\r How that variable gets that value assigned to it is unknown, since you don't show that section of the code.
