Hello,
I am using Cygwin  1.5.21(0.156/4/2).I try to run the shell script called test.sh

case $1 in
    1)
        echo '1'
        ;;
    2)
        echo '2'
        ;;
    *)
        echo 'Dunno'
        exit 1
esac

but i always get the following error

'/test.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `in
'/test.sh: line 1: `case $1 in

I can run the script successfully in a linux box.

Please help

Doug
