OS: Windows XP 64 Cygwin Version: 1.5.24-2 I'm finding that my install of cygwin will run interactive scripts just fine, but won't run them from a file. For example, here is a script in f:/temp/foo:
$ cat f:/temp/foo echo "X" for i in * do echo $i done It fails if I try to source it: $ . f:/temp/foo X 'ash: f:/temp/foo: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `do 'ash: f:/temp/foo: line 3: `do But if I paste it directly into the shell window its fine: $ echo "X" X $ for i in * > do > echo $i > done AUTOEXEC.BAT CONFIG.SYS Config.Msi Documents and Settings IO.SYS MSDOS.SYS NTDETECT.COM [...] I've re-installed cygwin, but no avail. Anyone else seeing this?
