You haven't provided sufficient information about which bits you are willing to change. Some things you could do are: * use Cygwin Python * change the Python script to output \n instead of \r\n * [ $foo = $'True\r' ] * [ ${foo/%$'\r'/} = True ] The last has the advantage that it will work even if the script outputs only "True\n" instead of \r\n. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
