Hi Eric,
I removed everything and completely re-installed Cygwin with setup.exe using the UNIX
binary option. I 'set -o igncr' in .bashrc. 'set | grep SHELLOPTS' show igncr is set.
Yet the problems of bash scripts failing with '\r' errors and the resultant .CSV has
a '^M' added to each line still appear. So it's going to take more than just installing
using a binary setup and setting igncr in bash to resolve the problems.
I ran D2U on each bash script AND on the data files that it grep-ped within the
scripts. Voila! Problem solved. Each script and data file came from a WinME system
that had an aging version of cygwin (circa mid-2005). I wrote a script to run every
file through d2u. Interestingly that script had to be 'd2u-ed' first.
So I have a solution but I fail to see why the binary setup and igncr didn't work.
I don't want to run every file I bring over through d2u as it's laborious.
In a unrelated problem, the diff command doesn't seem to be in the installation.
It was missing the last time I installed cygwin-1.5.24.
