I'll bet one has a carriage return ( and/or line feed) and the other doesn'= t which would fail on an incomplete last line. I've been burned by this ma= ny times. Always end the script by hitting the enter to avoid this. -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com] On Behalf Of= Thrall, Bryan Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 3:19 PM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: RE: identical scripts don't behave identically roc97007 wrote on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 5:11 PM: > To summarize, as far as I can tell the files are identical, but one works > and the other can't seem to find the current directory.

Perhaps one of the files has DOS line endings and the other has UNIX line endings? Try d2u on the broken one to see if it fixes the problem. -- Bryan Thrall FlightSafety International bryan DOT thrall AT flightsafety DOT com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
