I doubt that the bash read command will work with binary data. -----Original Message----- From: Post, Mark K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 11:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bash script question
If you remove all the Windows line-endings, you won't need your workaround. If the file gets periodically re-created and uploaded, you can either: Do an ASCII transfer, which will also remove the Windows line-endings Do a binary transfer and leave your workaround in place. Obviously, the first case assumes that there isn't any true binary data in the file. If there is, then you really don't have much choice.

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.
